i believe that after all is said and appears to b done we can be kind to one another.
Thanks Steve for your insights. I think I agree with most of what you say, and I especially like this sentence.
I'm now at peace, and just have love for the people who I've been close to and am currently close to. All blessings.
I also hope I am wiser now to chose to commit to friendships and relationships with people who have proven to be worthy of it. Clearly, it has been a major lesson for me in this life to do the opposite for a bit.
I'm grateful for opportunities for personal growth, and wish the same for all of you (:
i have picked some acquaintances that were rather treacherous also. i believe it is a karmic situation. Once bitten twice shy as the saying goes. Paramahansa Yogananda has said you can never really trust someone who has proven treacherous. However WE can always be kind in our words and actions even though others may not be. That shows spiritual maturity.
