Never Mind

Brothers love, brothers hurt
Sisters encourage, sisters dissapoint

How many of us have ever been dissapointed or hurt by our loved ones? The more we love them, the deeper the impact.

Me, myself has quite a forgiving personality. If someone run into me or step on my feet, I would sincerely say "never mind". When a waiter brought a dish which was not exactly what I've ordered, I'd still generously offer my "never mind". In short, I am the type of person who never mind those who jump the queue in front of me.

Lucky are those passerby in my life, coz I ain't that forgiving to those aren't. "They should understand me more!" "They should know me better!" Such thoughts keep pumping my adrenalin, turning those little incidents or misunderstanding unto unforgiving acts..

Never mind is the word we normally offer to passing-by people in our lives. But this word doesn't seem popular when it comes to those who stay permanently on our sides. I wonder how much 'never mind' stock God has, considering how naughty and unthoughful we are. Furthermore I wonder how could we offer such a tiny sum to the ones we love...

"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. " Matthew 5:7 (The Beatitudes)

Elva, I lean more in the direction of "nevermind". Many people are not so forgiving.

I think we need to be forgiving, all the time.

Thank you!
