Hi there.
I am a typical human being with all human failings. I have made an ass out of myself several times in the past as I keep doing now too.
Many a times I have hurt people by my actions, and sometimes by the lack of it. But almost everytime that I have hurt someone it was not because I lied to them, but because I spoke the truth. And I have come to the conclusion that speaking truth might not be such a good thing after all because most people don't have the guts to digest the truth; they would rather be prepared to live with a lie all their life.
On the other hand I have always been prepared to know the truth and, though with great difficulty, I have always been able to digest the truth and come out unscathed. But there is one particular trait of mine which I am yet to find in another person from all those whom I have met till now. FORGIVENESS.
In this 33 years of my life I have been hurt several times. Most of the times by my close friends, buddies, relatives and other very close ones. And every time I have been able to forgive them. Though I remember everyone of them and their mischief but that is primarily because forgetting is a difficult thing specially if your brain doesn't want to forget. But forgiveness is something that comes from within. And the best part is that I have been able to not only forgive them but also become as usual as before the incident(s) happened.
To my dismay I have rarely, and probably never, been forgiven for my mistakes. Strange as it my sound my friends against whom I made the mistake I have always asked for forgiveness but to no avail. And I am yet to figure out why.
I have been told, "I can never forgive you for what you did. but i thought its better to move on. but we can never be the same again. what is lost is lost. "
Strange. From my side it is usually, "Chal chord na baba. galti har koi karta hai. ab har cheez dil pe le lunga to jee liya main. (Leave it buddy. Everyone makes mistakes. But if I start cringing to every mistake then it will be difficult for me to live.)
I wish to get hold of a friend who would just be like the way I am.

Sir, last line, I think it's 'clinging' and not 'cringing.'
