Monday Thought

"Don't brood over what others have done to you. Remember that people who hurt you so often do so out of their own problems, not out of their perception of you. If you deserved the injury done to you, learn from it. If you don't deserve it, forget it."

Saw the above quote written on an envelope in my handbag. I must have quoted it from somewhere but couldn't recall who the author is. It had been in my handbag for a few months! 

Reading it  again, it somehow uplifts my spirit. You may agree or disagree. Personally, I think there's some truths in it. I don't like to brood over whatever bad situations that come to my life. Of course, the feeling that had been hurt will take time to heal. But it will be healed in the process of forgetting it.  Whether there's something to be learned, it all depends on what situations we are in. But as stated in the quote, if you don't deserve it, forget it!

  6. great read balquis... but still its human nature, we can only find faults with others...even if we deserved injury still we are unable to forget or forgive because we are weaklings... i hope and pray that we overcome our weaknesses and learn to forgive and forget :)

  7. sometimes life can be so unfair..people can just hurt us, betray and leave us shattered..but life must not stop there..whether if the pain was inflicted on purpose or it was done unintentionally..both of it gives a reason of learning..moving on and accepting life as it should be :)

  8. Wow, that's so beautiful. I've been hurt a lot and I guess it is better to forget than be spiteful all the time. I think personal development is greatly linked to all those times we have been hurt.

  9. Mommy, I had the worst weekend. My friend died just as when he was busy preparing for his wedding this December. While seeing him lifeless in a box, I learned that life is really, really short. We should not give time to grudges and hurt feelings for we may never know what tomorrow holds. It could be the only day left in one's life.

  10. @Sagittarian - You would agree with me if I say, no matter how many times we stumble, we'll still be able to get up. Self-determination is very important. Thanks for your comments. :)

  15. @Israr - Hi Dr.! Yup, human nature is so complicated, thus it's so difficult to understand. Well, that includes you and I! LOL
    It's exactly as you said. We were born with weaknesses which we are able to overcome or otherwise. Insya Allah, your prayer will be heard by HIM.

    I'm looking forward to reading your research on this matter. Thanks a lot for your nice comments. :)
