have you lost friendships?

thank you. i hope that would happen. i don't want to have enemies when i die. maybe time would heal the wound. and make me forgive and forget as well.

Hello Jeanne94668. :). I think I understand how you feel because something also happened in the past that outcasted our family from our circle of friends because of a certain "friend" of my father's. My parents were not the only one's who suffered from that catastrophe, but we, their children also had our share of suffering. As I was growing up, I was confused why everything turned so different all of a sudden. And when I finally understood what happened, and why it had. I have learned to forgive. I commend my mother's patience over the people who has hurt her through all those years. She has grown to love those people instead of hating them. She told me that she would have never grown in character had that didn't happen at all. After hearing my Mom's story, I decided to forgive those people, and I have felt freedom, it was something so wonderful. It was like breaking free from a very heavy, tight and painful chain for the longest time. It was so liberating. I am hoping that you'll still gain what you had. I pray that you and that friend of your's will still meet someday without any hurt anymore. God bless you. :)

Many of my 'friends' are also like your friends. But I have not gotten rid of them yet. Not just yet? LOL. Maybe because I have experienced being the "bad guy," not to any human, but to my creator. I have hurt Him many times, and have seem to forget Him a lot of times, and never considering at times if what I'm doing ever pleases Him or has already hurt Him. Through it all God loves me anyway. And I think that's what God wants me to do too. :). I pray that some of your friends will be sensitive of how you feel too. God bless you. :)

Unless they experience what is meant by hurt, they will not learn. I therefore keep them away from me, I do not entertain them. Thanks for informing me about your soft ways of handling friends.

Hey Mycharm88. :) You have just saved your friend's life. You're indeed a friend. :). I also did that to a friend, and his response is quite different from the response that your friend. He was silent for a time (I can't remember if the silence took days or so), but it was a relatively long silence. After that long silence, he sent a text message, he thanked me for confronting him about a particular matter that might have hurt him, but according to him has helped him. You can read about it in my friendster blog if you have the time. It's the most recent post that I did. I'm pretty sure that that friend of your's will thank you someday. It might not be sooner, but I know that it will. I'll pray for that. :) God bless your heart Mycharm88. The world is blessed to have you. :)
