Disappointment
It's been a disappointing day. That was how I felt as I drag my feet walking home from the bus stop.
I'm disappointed with myself and people.
People who thought that because of some special occasion, exceptions could be made and took it upon themselves (again) to do the wrong thing. People who act irresponsibly and foolishly, knowing for sure what was not supposed to be done, yet chose to ignore warnings and in so doing affect the innocent ones. Liars! They simply gave me reasons to be on guard against them. I hate to be in such a position especially when it comes to relationships. It's tiring and makes me suspicious. I would rather trust and take people for their word. No wonder the world system is filled with "terms and conditions", contracts for almost everything, even marriages. Perhaps that's why some people would rather live in denial in the name of positive thinking, to overlook when their spouse (for e.g.) cheats on them.
Oh well, personally I can forgive, and I will, and I can still be nice to you. That's what giving 2nd chances is all about and that's how things work with God. But don't be confused because consequences are still inevitable - it's nothing personal. I can't help it if you see it that way. Even I have to bear with my own consequence for what I'm disappointed about. Just do yourself some good by learning from your mistakes and treat others with more respect.
Anyway, about 2nd chances. Reminds me of Yellow Ribbon Project. It's going on the next few days in campus at the Plaza. Go buy a yellow ribbon and support the cause. We all need 2nd chances too, desperately.
