I have this stupid habit of digging up old graves even when i dont really intend to...
its like i think im all fine and normal and then bam!! when confronted,it suddenly comes back to me and i proceed to lash my whip of cynicism and bitterness at the poor unsuspecting soul who thought perhaps he/she had been forgiven...
it leaves me feeling good about myself...asif ive finally cut the losses...or perhaps its my way of trying to figure out if the other is really sorry enough to face the bitterness...
either way, it sure does lead to a lot of awkwardness for both the parties...
Its also true that this streak of mine sometimes gets on my nerves and i hate myself for it as i continue to feel miserable...i mean why am i this way??
why cant i just forgive or better still forget somethings and just move on?
Was discussing a fav topic wih a friend (fav topic being 'me' ofcourse!! *grin*) and she told me that it could be rather irritating at times how i tend to be so stuck up with things...
she further asked me had i to actually be as strong as i like to show i have become,why cant i forgive the people who have wronged me, why cant i befriend the ones i was hurt by?
hmmmmmm...!!
and then the same confusing question..."what is it pri?? is it selfrespect or your ego that is coming in between?"
and this time, the eternal chatterbox that urs truly normally is, found herself at a loss for words...

loss for words??? u r joking.... tell me u r joking!!!
on a serious note... it is not self respect... dat doesn't make stop you from forgiving... it's ego which stops you.. self respect only makes sure you never get into the mess again and be sorry!!
I think we all get stuck up with things... some a little more than others..
I have this same problem of "not forgiving/forgetting stuff" and venting it out on the most unexpected of times :|
Sam is right it is not self respect.. it has to do with ego..!
I still remember my then friend and room-mate [in a hostel] gave a treat to our other friends but convienently forgot to call me.. I didn't say anything then.. but well I fired her.. grilled her with soya-sauce...garnished it with chilly sauce and ate it all up with red-sauce..!
it is so satisfying serious :)
er!! maybe writing the "bad" feeling in your blog might help! ahh ya.. u do that i knw.. er!
:)
its really for you to find out...isnt it....we can only comment
but for me its not self respect or ego - its dabar ka kala dant manjan.....
you dont use it - so your teeth are not bright - so are afraid to smile - which you will have to if you forgive people :)
Whatever it may be, one generally comes out of it when there is mental reconciliation and forgiveness. Its only then one truly leaves the past behind and moves forward.
usual aches and pains of a disease called life...
well .. I would guess so .. I have been complained of a similar behavior .. I mean I just came to knw lately when I was whining about one particular thing happened some year back, and kept nudgin the person on the same thing .. like being sarcastic n all .. n it was thn n there that the glass got filled to the brim .. and naturally it overflowed ..
I had realised it earlier too that I hold on to a lot of things .. from the past .. n take them with me .. the grudges specially .. or the bad things that happened (part of the being scorpio thing ofcourse) .. but it was only now tht it was explicitly stated .. n now I knw tht it hurts :D ..
well .. I guess one can get over it .. or may b not ;)
i think the answer is forgive AND forget pri.. though it sounds all noble and pious not all of us mere mortals can do that.. in fact few manage to do it effectively..
but the goal is to TRY and do something towards it.. TRY to forgive and then forget..
but hey! i shudn sound like i am lecturing! silly me! thats not what i meant it as.. just a flow of thoughts..
Take care,
and it helps to NOT think abt such stuff too much!
Forgive and forget.. easier said than done. I guess it just fades to the back of the mind waiting for anything to trigger those memories.
Those ghosts!!
Hmmmm...
there is very fine line between self respect and ego I agree, many a times I have faced the same situtaion...dnt botther urself...and do what ur heart says:-)))
Does it really matter what the answer is?
Are you comfortable being who you are?
If not, then you might want to make changes. And if you are, then be yourself and dont worry about the rest!
So very human, that's what we all are afterall !
Loss of words..I really wonder...u wont ever loss of words, I can bet..Its just a temp phase..
@ sam
hmmm...makes sense...
@ ramber
agreed...different ppl, different lives, different stories :)
@ ceedy
ok aaj se dabar ke kale daatmanjan se brush karna shuru...:p
my dental bills would be henceforth forwarded to u...ok?;)
@ cosmic joy
hmm thats the whole issue i guess...letting go of the past in the true sense would be letting go of the memories (not only the bad but also the good ones) too isnt it??
@ destiunyfavchild
u said it buddy!
@ anuj
in the same dilemma anuj (and im not even a scorpio.lol)...but agreed it hurts :)
@ anonme
hmm no dear...u rnt lecturing..i asked for it :)
and ur right...forgive AND forget...but its tough..atleast for me..
guess i should be trying harder...
ohh and NOT thinking about it (or about nething for that matter) is an issue on its own...sigh!
@ j
ur right...the past has weird ways of catching up...
@ chakoli
my heart has quit giving signals a long time back chakoli...now its just the mind which is confusing itsself...:D
@ solitaire
a lil bit of both girl...a lil bit of both :)
@ gonecase
thanks for making me feel normal...lol!!
@ blogboy
yaa i guess it is the calm before the storm ;)
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." <~~ “ MahaAtma Gandhi
The best revenge for any unaccepted action is forgiveness, Habits they cage us , whip us, and tear our thoughts to crimson red, they leave scars unclotted , and then we get to habits to scratch the scars …., because we tend to forget our duties but remember our rights,….By forgiving we cannot change the past ,….. but for sure ensure a large & healthy future……. Habits are controlled by senses,… don’t feed the wrong grains to senses , …Every Name and Every Form is the cause for Trouble,….The WORLD is none other then MIND ,… Mind is none other then HEART,… Heart is forgiving(i.e. For + Giving)… The perception of Division about self respect and Ego <~~~ is between the seer and the object that is seen,…. All this is situated in mind for those remaining in the heart,… the seer becomes one with the sight,…Like we should agree the pundits when they say greatest service we can render to the world is self realization,…. And theres a pinch of self realization in this blog of yours….<~~~
Thanks

@ veens
hahaha veens...u do manage to make me laugh no matter how serious the situation :D
and this time uve tempted me to go have some 'chinese' dinner too...*grin*
sorry for the late reply dear...saw ur comment pending just now and posted it up...
@ a germ
thanks for the 'gyaan'...
We all forget some happy memories and some sad memories .. not by choice .. just human nature :)
self respect or ego is the question...my answer ego.
but its workable more often than not!
don't ever FORGET...
forgive... it usually happens with time.. unless the experience was too bitter !!!
Even I find extreme difficulties in forgiving people and even more in forgetting things :P but you know pri...even if you read a hundred comments giving advices on this topic..its still impossible :P
so just be the way u r :)
@ cosmic joy
i have a problem with that...
somehow i tend to never forget anything ...be it good memories or bad ones...
it can be indeed frustrating sometimes...other times it jus makes me happy :)
@ vandita
hmm maybe...
anyways there is most often a narrow line between the selfrespect and ego as long as u dont have one of those 'superinflated' kinds...
@ -om-
ya i agree...some wounds time can never heal...while some it dosent even try healing and keeps scratching the surface time n time again...
@ divya
ur right divs...ive got to help myself on this...though i fear nothing much can be done...its juss me i guess :)

@Pri
"the eternal chatterbox that urs truly normally is, found herself at a loss for words..."and yet have written so much... :P
We r human, and there is a part in the brain which is memory and it is one on which we r built. Digging old graves is just an eternal part of it.
I have learnt to respect all those who hurted me, wronged me, ditched me in some way or other coz those ppl teach me the most important thing in life...
So when u say u cant be friends with those, its just coz u havent forgiven them yet, it has nothing to do with ur ego or self respect... it has to do with what ur conscience think, how they shld be dealt!!!
Still ... wish u peace
Amen!!!
Take Care Buddy!!!
Urs Truly ;)
@ veens
*pri is happy and gives veens a big hug* :D
@ ankur
