Reminiscing the words..
To forgive and forget...
These words are often used when
sumthing wrong was done and he/she is forgiven... But the true fact is that, you can forgive but
u'll always remember.
The fact that a person did something wrong, it will always be remembered. On the
contrary, when a person does
sumthing good or right, it will often not be remembered. This is due to the normal thinking of a human brain.
Ok lets take a short time to imagine. Imagine if u had an A3 sized paper in front of you. And i drew a red dot on it. Its a dot that you can see of course. Now tell me what do you see...
A red dot right? Good. That is the way almost everyone thinks!!! Sadly that's the fact.
You see if i had told you that the white part of the A3 paper that you were visualising, were all the good deeds that you have done and that the red dot that i drew on it was a mistake or
something wrong that you did. How would you think now??
The management of companies in most cases would look at it the same. You are a hard worker, getting lots of compliments from customers etc. But on one unfortunate day, you receive a complaint letter from your superior. I'm quite sure that, that letter of complaint will be remembered by
ur superiors and even
ur colleagues. Even dozens of your letter of compliments
would not add up to the weight of the letter of complaint that you have just received.
Maybe and only maybe, after a while, they all might forgive what you did and you may still have your job. But will they forget the letter of
complaint??
Now ask yourself. It the words on the top of the entry or often used, really mean what it says? Then again, i feel that there is no such word as forgetting. The word is "cannot remember"... As in, the thing is people can remember or cannot remember. If they say they forgot (cannot remember) about it, its just a matter of time before
sumone reminds him/her and than he/she would go, "
Ouh Ya!! Now i remember..."
If you can't remember doesn't mean u have forgotten about it. Its just that the memory skills haven't been training that's all!!! Can you forget the ABC's. I'll tell you why you cannot do so? It's simple, it's because you use it each and every day!!! You see if
ur memory is put to practise everyday, it's hard not to remember sometimes...
On the other hand, we are just normal human being and are bound to make mistakes and tend not to remember certain things when we are living in such a metropolitan place and era. So the next time someone says, "I'll forgive and forget...", it really means, "I'll forgive but i'm bound to remember what happened..."
I'm sorry if this has offended anyone out there. I'm just sharing my thoughts here.
Peace outs..
