There’s something I’ve noticed with some of the great men I’ve met. They don’t forgive. We’ve been groomed to think forgiveness should come easy. That once someone says sorry, then we are obliged to accept their apology and forgive them. I think not.

If someone wronged me and I decided I’m never going to forgive them. It should be normal. There should be nothing abnormal about it. There are some quotes (that I’ve also parroted in the past) extolling the wonders of forgiveness. I think they are all nonsense.

Once again all human emotion is valid...and if you want to be bitter at someone that wronged you, it’s perfectly okay. Case in point rapists. See, I don’t want to see you. I don’t want to be friends with you no more. If I see you drowning, I’ll probably pull a chair and watch.

There are a few things I don’t think I can forgive. Top of the list is disrespect. The day you disrespect me is the day we can’t ever be cool no more. No matter how hard you beg or say you’re sorry. No matter how highly I rated you or even love you. I can’t forgive disrespect.
