AND HARMING YOU EVEN TO CAUSE YOUR CONFLICTS WITH FRIENDS, RELATIONS AND EVEN IN YOUR FAMILY -NOW THAT THEY ARE NO MORE, I THOUGHT OF WRITING TO YOU, COMMUNICATE AND EXPRESS TO YOU THAT DURING ALL THIS TIME I REMAINED BURDENED AND GRIEVED OF COURSE THAT I AM DOING YOU HARM WITHOUT ANY FAULT OF YOU, HOW AND WHEN I COULD EXPLAIN TO YOU PLEASE FORGET WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND PARDON ME FOR MY INNOCENCE, GREEDINESS AND NEVER EVER THINKING OF HARMING YOU -PLEASE FORGET WHAT HAS HAPPENED, AND IF YOU ALLOW ME I WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU AND APOLOGISE IN PERSON FOR MY GUILT. -I STARTED THINKING AND THINKING AGAIN AND AGAIN POSSIBLY IT COULD BE A TRICK TO CHEAT ME AND/OR TO COST MY LIFE EVEN -FINALLY I TOOK COURAGE RECALLING THAT WHEN SOMEONE COMMITS SOME MISTAKES AND EVEN HARMS THE INNOCENT PERSONS LIKE ME DOES SOONER OR LATER REALISE ABOUT THE HARM HE DID -AND LIKES TO MEET AND OFFER HIS APOLOGIES FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED. -POSSIBLY WHEN ONE HAS LOST EVERYTHING OR HAS GROWN TOO OLD TOTALLY SHATTERED IN HEALTH, BY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND RELATIONS -ONE DOES THINK OF RELIEVING ONESELF OF THE BURDEN ONE CARRIES OF HIS MISTAKES AND WANTS TO EXPLAIN AND APOLIGISE FOR THE HARM HE HAD DONE TO THE PERSON CONCERNED. -FINALLY I TOOK COURAGE AND CALLED HIM, WE RECOUNTED ALL OUR PAST RELATIONS, CHAT FOR A WHILE, ENJOYED A BIT OF HARD DRINK TOGETHER, AND BECAME FRIENDS HEREAFTER AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. Conclusion; it is said time IS a good healer, a time comes when perhaps one loses everything, finds oneself alone, one does recall the harm one had done to someone in life, and instead of carrying this burden all along, one does repent and wants to relieve oneself of the harm and crimes one committed, before one meets one’s end of life. Better if we can pardon and ignore what had happened knowingly or in innocence. By vasdevloond 9811943867 vasdevlood@gmail.com
