Sleepy.
Human beings are flawed . We all are. Mistakes are made, not a single person doesn't have a dark secret/sin which others do not know about. People let other people down, we disappoint people in one way or another.
Of course we do expect a level of expectations from the people around us, friends and family. We disappoint and we are get disappointed when things do not go out way or things are not up to expectations. Even if it was a trivial thing. A small thing. Trust takes years to build, only to be ruined in a single day. Unconciously we do not give them a chance to learn, to make it up, or to say sorry because we are to stubborn to listen.
BUT, we do forget that WE too make mistakes, probably more than the people around us. We TOO disappoint the people around us. All we can do is hope to be forgiven, while at the same time we do not forgive the people around us. We judge people while we expect not to be judged.
This is where self-centredness plays a part. All we can do is move on. We just forgive and forget. We are on a learning curve, we learn as we grow. Some people just take a longer time to learn from their own mistakes.
This is a reminder for me to not be too hard on others around me. To those who might have unintentionally hurt me, to those whom I may have disagreements with before. Just let things be. I know I am flawed. I am not perfect. I try the best that I can be. I could fall short of your expectations and sometimes my own. You can expect something out of me, but when I fail to meet that expectation, don't give up on me. I'm still learning. We all are.
There are those who hope others think of them while they do not give a rats ass about others. And occasionally too many "sorrys" just ain't gonna cut it. It could have happened once too many times. The best we can do is pray and hope they change. At least for the better.
Do not take people for granted. You could probably be smarter, more popular, richer, of higher society, etc. Take the time to think of others sometimes instead of just "me, me, me".
Lesson learnt. Karma bites u hard in the ass.
