Life 101 - Chapter III - Forgiveness
and when another ramadhan comes, it always will appear to be the right time for an assessment. assessment to identify and evaluate whether or not our actions and/or words were a tad too generic and a mere play-it-safe so that it will sound socially-acceptable to the audience.
or could we have crossed some lines again just to finally say that we were just trying to "be ourselves"?.
one can't simply get away with saying "i'm sorry" or "i wasn't thinking right" or other comforting excuses alike when the damage is done, can we? still, let us all offer forgiveness and bury the hatchet. and one shall live longer for the burden is no longer sitting on one's exhausted shoulder. nobody said about forgetting anything.
cont'd.
i don't always "read", let alone having a series of drafts, whatever i have written in this blog or anywhere. of late, i couldn't resist the temptation of not writing anything at all. it was neither right nor wrong but i just don't feel like it.
there is a certain disadvantage of having no drafts or proof-reading. sub-consciously, i could have frustrated, if not angered someone with something i wrote or did.
on a more serious note, i think there is a need to un-complicate matters. there is an urgent need to remove or cushion my choice of words. of course, especially those with negative connotations as it always has been. most close friends would know how at times i could be your much-hated sarcastic bastard and self-centered and almost heartless.
so now i'm taking this not-so-rare-opportunity-actually to seek forgiveness, renew old ties and reconcile severed relationships (the latter i'm very sure hasn't happened yet) with all of my friends.
dear friends, please forgive me. selamat hari raya aidilfitri.
