A soul is not a menu a la carte. Love ain't a fancy restaurant or a home delivery service. We can't expect the other to open up as fast we do. We can't put him or her under the pressure of doing things the way we want them to.
Absolutely LOVE THIS!!!
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
Used that exact quote in a post I wrote a long time ago about forgiveness. Have stolen a few lines from there...
No, You never really know everything about another person, because people have become so conditioned to building walls and wearing masks, only allowing others to see what they selectively choose to show. The rest of it stays under lock and key. I have brought this into other posts - my parents got divorced when I was 5 years old. I am the youngest of four children and I have often had discussions with people about how each and every one of us was affected differently by that part in our lives because of our different stages of emotional and psychological development at the time. No two wounds will ever be the same. In learning to understand people, this is an essential element to remember. “When we are judging everything, we are learning nothing.” ― Steve Maraboli. I cannot possibly, truly understand what emotional scars and baggage they deal with as adults now, just as much as they will never really understand mine. The same applies to all the other people that cross our paths. - Often, people are quick to judge others – which is so fundamentally wrong!

Oh wow, you wrote it beautifully! I can relate to this, my parents divorced too and it was a very ugly period in my life. It was nasty.
Anyway, forgiveness is the greatest gift we can make to ourselves. There is no point in bottling all of that up.
