Friends. Forgiveness.

Maybe there are really some things that are meant not to be touched, not to be noticed ... in other words, to be left just the way it was. In that way, we could not only avoid arguments but we could also have some sort of ... peace of mind, except of course, if you have OCD about peace-and-order-or-whatever-you-call-it.

But how would you deal with a misunderstanding between you and your friend? Are you going to let things the way they are? Or will you slap her face and spit out the bad feelings you have for her? (Okay, maybe not that harsh.)

I had this friend whom I used to get really close to but for some reasons, I just felt the urge to not confide with her anymore. She's not the one whom I was in bad terms with. In fact, we're still friends, it's just that there is something about her that I do not approve of and unfortunately, I do not have enough courage to tell her so.

I had a second friend, let's hide her in the name of Erin. So this Erin is angry with the first friend, let's call her Ish. Erin tells me about how she feels, her angst, her stress, everything. I appreciate that because I know I can help her ease some of her burdens and in the same time, I also let out some bad feelings towards Ish. So this went on until Erin got really pissed off with Ish, up to the point where she thought she was backstabbing her, which is bothering Erin. So in order to let her angst out, she said her opinions to Ish. And the next day, they didn't talk to each other.

Now, all I have to do is to wait for what will happen between them. Will they be able to forgive each other and be bring back the old friendship?

In the end, I would like to conclude that everyone has their own personality. We are "programmed" uniquely, by our DNA, by the way our mind works or any other possible comparison you may have. It boils down to the same conclusion, anyway.

We must learn to accept people the way they are. We should not let our emotions rule us all the time. Sometimes we think we are the ones who are in the right side ... but don't you think you're just having a biased rationalization?
