Life is funny! You are sitting peacefully and then suddenly something comes. It triggers your those areas of life which you feel have been over and buried. It reminds you that it’s still there, it’s never over.
Yesterday, my friend called up. His brother had given him a business offer and he was wondering, if he shall take it. I asked him, why did they get separated. Because as far as I knew, till sometime back, they were together and partner for years. He said that the business was not doing well. But I was not feeling convinced. So I asked him further. So he shared that how, his brother was cheating and laundering money. How his brother was lying to hi. So finally they reached to the point where they just could not work together. So after few months, he is back with another offer for what? Are you are still considering? He said that it could make extra money. Well, do you think he would be interested in what you would get? Do you think he cannot cheat again? Do you think he would let that money reach you? He was quite and said I know but as I felt there is an opportunity, so may be. Yes, he has to create a very attracting offer, attracting enough for you to over come those times and get attracted. But dishonesty is never acceptable. He started arguing, I have forgiven him. Oh, sure, I am all a follower of forgiveness but do you want to go through all that mess and mental tension again? Where you are wondering all the time what’s happening. He realized and accepted!
I do not know, then someone argued, you are coming in between two brothers. I said no, infact, I am giving them an opportunity to heal. if they brought that reason again in between, which pushed them apart, they will get further pushed away. But if they do not bring that reason in between, eventually they will get healed. It’s their choice. They have to see!
Before dealing with people again, who have broken your trust in the past (even if they are your closest ones), just think of all those times again and then know, if you are ready to go through all that again. Take your call. Forgive but forget?
