happy people

people are really different...
on how they see their lives or others...
on how they deal with their destinies or consequences...
on how they deal with their past...

I've said "you're forgiven but it's not forgotten" to a friend
and someone special to me said that it shouldn't be like that...
you should really forgive and forget...
I know that... and actually do that... (most likely because I have short memories :p)
but saying that I "forgive and forget" seems to make me a weak person... too soft and easily fooled...

well it's not like that at all...
it takes lots of courage to forgive.. to completely and sincerely forgive... since it means that you should be able to handle your heart very well
and it takes more strength to forget as people tend to remember all those bad things that happen to them... so human.. but it's still not a justification to see that tendency as a good thing

I have my bad time and worst time... but I don't regret them...
Some people did hurt me... but I don't despise them... (I may had hated them for a short while... something so called "human" reaction :p but not too long...)

I know and I believe that everything happens for a reason...
Even when I think it got me to my lowest point... but still... God knows that I have something to learn there so I'll just need to figure that out... with less emotion or anger involved... with cold headed and positive thinking... ;)
Don't you think so?
