not much to say today.. some thoughts..not too many

When I think of the book that I am reading right now, the one thought that hits me the hardest is that it is about a break up. Actually, 290 pages into it, and the broken up couple are passionately indulging in an affair. But, she is married and has a child. I am pretty sure nothing good will ever come out of it.

Something I have always pondered, should one forgive a lover who cheats? On the one hand there is the argument that if you love a person, you forgive everything. On the other hand, some wounds run deep. Somethings you don't forgive, like betrayal of trust. And then there's the question of trust. Isn't trust everything? Not just in a romantic relation, in every relation.

I will forgive a friend everything, as long as I trust their faith/friendship/love for me and know that they didn't wantonly hurt me. I don't doubt the veracity of that statement, I have lived it! However, the question that I have struggled a lot with is where do you draw the line? Sometimes, people can't help repeating their mistake. Is it because they don't care that it hurts you or that they don't even realize that they are doing it? Do you even forgive them if it is the latter and you've already given them a number of chances?

Actually, I don't want to pursue this thought. It is depressing and basically, I am tired.. thoughts are wandering. My brain is caught up in the book. I need to clean my apartment and do my laundry and work out!!

Read a book, it kills the boredom somewhat.
