FORGIVE v/s FORGET

One of the biggest battle my mind faces till date.

When something unexpected & horrible happens & I get betrayed by someone intentionally,
I feel down.

My mind never forgets such things.

Although I do forgive the person, I never forget.

Recently, I got a call from someone who had betrayed me,
I did not feel like talking, I did not pick up.

I thought of texting back rather than talking as I avoid talking to such people as much as I can.

Then he asked for some help,
Don’t know what happened, I immediately called back & helped him with what he needed.

After a few days, he called casually.
This time I picked up & spoke normally just like a new beginning.

My heart & mind both felt lighter.

Yes, I still don’t forget what he had done, but I don’t have that thought anymore.

There is no point in having a grudge, it just makes it worse.
It is all about accepting people as they come, & life as it comes.

Might work differently for different people.

What do you do?

How do you deal with people who have betrayed you?
