In any relationship, there is nothing more valuable than a short-term memory. Grudges kill. Most indiscretions are forgivable, and learning to let it go is paramount to maintaining a healthy life. You can carry the baggage of past mistakes forever, or you can let it go and move on. A slight, a mistake, a misconception, a bad day, these things happen.
Sometimes, "sorry" has to be enough penance to pay.
I find permanent global amnesia is the best condition under which a good friendship may flourish.

Never mind.

Trust me, Polisner, I've already forgotten what you just said. That's why I have so many friends; I pretty much forget everything anyone says to me almost immediately.

ReplyDeleteSometimes people say sorry so much it loses it's meaning. Just sayin'. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan "Little Ray of Sunshine" Bostic. ;)
ReplyDeleteglobal amnesia takes care of that. I don't remember Jeff ever saying sorry for anything. Plus, I don't remember him ever doing a single bad thing wrong.
