We all do it.
We front for other people. Pretend the truth has escaped us when we are wrong. We make our understanding foreign to other's mistakes. We deney our "bad" circumstances and situations as a coping mechanism. And most of us are lured by celeb mishaps.
To some extent this is human nature. If you haven't been in another's shoes, you know someone who has. If you begin to live in your truth and own it - that's a force by itself. There is growth in pain. For me, it leads to creativity or use of my better judgement in the future. In retrospect, it gives a broader window of interpretation; hence GROWTH.
This is why I forgive and forgive and forgive. Admitidly, it has gotten me into repeat situations but I too need the same mercy. There's an art in accepting people for who they are and what they've done. Stop pretending for those that can't like you, flaws and all. Refrain from the simple man's tendency to look at others and get jealous instead of taking the opportunity to learn what they're doing right.
Human life is but a moment in the scope of time for God. Why waste it on regret? Denying myself regret is a coping mechanism for me. But seriously, friends are in our lives for a season but never miss the reason. Family remains a source of refuge. Owe no man nothing but love and let go of the hurt, the regret, the understandable mistakes.
Life lessons are valuable but do not let them rule you. A grudge costs you more enegy than it does the person you hold it against.
Love without condition
Talk without intention
Give without reason
Care without expectation
