Do you forgive friends who done such a bad things to you ? I have a good friend once...joined business with him and one day ran away with the company's money. About 500.000,-. He loaned it for a "profitable" business but ran away with the loot. I tried to find him for 2 years in vain...at all costs. My company went bankrupt becauce of that and had bad debts and 6 months employee salaries not paid. Debt collector is a daily menu for me. So will you forgive such a friend ? Please share your view. http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com http:/pastasaladrecipe.blogspot.com

It really depends on the thing they did to you but in your case, I definitely would not forgive him. The idea is to forgive your friends. He did not seem like a friend at all. He must have been pretending. There are real friends that do bad things, but don;t do them deliberately. They get in certain situations where they do things before they think. Like tell someone a secret you told them not to tell. If they were drunk or something and told someone. That's forgivable. But this guy destroyed your whole life almost. You'll be paying for this for a long time and he is making you suffer for what he did, so no, I would not forgive him. I'm very into forgiving because I know all the things that can happen to make a mistake and mistakes are human. This guy outright hurt you on purpose and it was no mistake on his part, so it seems. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
