Actions let us peer into one another's thoughts.

They tell you who the person is and your association.

Do you want to be friends,

Do you want to be kind,

Do you want no association,

Or do you choose to forgive?

And yes,

People do change and learn,

But the deeper the action,

The harder it is to forgive.

And that is one of the challenges in this cruel world,

Forgiveness.

It takes years to perfect and even then,

It's still strenuous.

If you can forgive,

That shows how kind and affectionate you are.

If you can forgive someone for their mistakes and give them a second

chance,

Your essence is pure.

Because you have taken the time to evaluate yourself and others.

Yes,

It's hard to forgive,

But its even harder to accept.

To accept someone for their past.

To accept their scars and bruises.

And to accept their fall downs.

But don't look at their fall downs.

Look at their rise ups.

Look for when that person gets dragged down but then gets up on

their own to feet.

This will tell you that they don't give into defeat.

These are the strongest people you will know.
