To deal with imperfections, one has to be an understanding Goldfish. The Goldfish is said to have a three-second memory (which, by the way, is an incorrect theory that has been proved wrong over and over). But for those not so interested in science, let's scrape this fact for a while and assume them as dumb as everyone claims they are. I digress, lets go back to the original train of thought.
To deal with imperfections (other people's) and mistakes made, one has to be an understanding Goldfish. Goldfish meaning you can forget the past enough to move on and understanding meaning you realise the cause of some actions, learn from them, hoping others have also done the same and using this for the future.
Enough said.......
The Return
Forgive is not forget
Repeat is not regress
Twice beaten, already burnt
Once accepted then shunned
Felt the full force of the brunt
And yet again I return
Shall we call it lesson learnt
Or greater things do we hunt
For what other explanation
for it is not love's intoxication
leave without it we can
and a new slate begun
No I'm not crazy, no I'm not dumb
But I am a believer, of the good not the glum
Same tiger, same stripes
Better understanding of life's strife
I may be wrong, I may be right
This will be revealed, all in good time

This is my favourite post. I've thought of this a number of times, both in the context of 'I have behaved badly and will they ever forgive me...?' and '... how can I come back here, when I know why I left in the first place?' I guess this post reminded me that there is a part of us that wants to move on, wants to forgive (as to be forgiven). There is native good in people, despite everything that tries to show us otherwise.
