a Belated Happy New Year and About Forgiveness


Hey friends.

Happy New Year and my best belated wishes for you all in 2009. Wish you could get whatever your heart desire!

We have surmounted two years. What's dwelling on your mind?

These days for me is forgiveness...

-------------------

Story 1: I am stolen three times by a same guy in the office, how can I forgive him?

Yes. 1st time, a new Nokia phone, two years ago. He stole from my desktop. 2nd, HKD2000 fm my wallet in my handbag, which i put underneath my desk in last Sept.. 3rd, my whole new Oakley wallet (w/ credit cards and ID cards in) from my handbag put in the same position. (After the 2nd theft, I took cautions and carrying w/ a little chest-bag w/ me all the time, there's only HKD150 inside.)

I was really igitated after the 3rd theft. The guy is a cheap spirit (as called by another gal. Why he always steals on me? Repeatedly? They say because you are so casual w/ your belongings. You should lock your stuff. Is it my fault? What I really hate is the repeatedness and the ruthlessness, even ripping me away my ID Card!

I verified already it's that guy. After the 3rd theft, I dont wanna say a word w/ him. I wanna pay someone to give him a good beat to revenge!!!!! After a while, he tried to talk or flatter me, I still haven't said a word. 'I felt shamed about you. I dont want to speak w/ you!' Even in a moment when he tried to congratulate me for my acccomplishment, I didnt react as I haven't forgiven him! I still need find someone to teach him a lesson.

How easy to commit crime and do bad deeds and how hard to forgive>

Story 2

My friend was cheated away for all his life saving. Almost half a million HKD by some African guys. Since then, he lost hope and became paranoid w/ Africans. (sorry for that!) He even wanted to kill the one/two guys if chance given. Before I persuaded him, now I understand how the flame is inside and how difficult to forget trauma and forgive, especially when it's a hard stroke.

Story 3

Nan,

The worst is that I cant report to police, they are minor theft. Even if I report, police would come to borther me not him. Police here wants you not to report any crime to them. Once my wallet was stolen on a Macau bus, I went to police station. They 'kindly' advised me to report 'loss', not theft, in order not to be bothered. Breakin a house and robbery is not rare in this city. Police can do nothing.

I am thinking on 'once we are hurt (feelings or phisically), how and how long it takes to forget and forgive. Being stolen is already a bad thing, adding to the revenge flame flaring inside afterwards, seems the thieves get double wins over the victims. For example, not difficult that i pay hkd500-1000 for a big guy to beat him down anonymously, he would well guess it's me and hesitate to do it again. If i let him sit at large, i feel that i am a coward.

Yes, you are right, he tries to be nicer to me ... how shamed is human's dark side? How can one rib off a person around and pretend to be friendly?

KORB,
Are you supporting i let someone give him a good beat?
Yes, now I lock my things up and always be cautious.
