Back to friends, caring, and forgiveness

I know I've written this here before, but it's been on my mind again recently and I just wanted to bring it up again. We were talking today about forgiveness,and in my opinion, with that comes the idea of caring about people.

Being friends with someone is like saying "I want to care about you so much that I am giving you the ability to hurt me."

The more I think about that, the more I think it's true. But forgiving them for hurting you can be so so hard sometimes, even if you do care. In all honesty though, I think it basically just comes down to discovering what is more important to you, them or your pride.

I think that's all I really have for now. There are about four or five other topics swirling around in my head that I would like to write about, but I need to figure them out better for myself first. The problem is, I think in ideas, not words. And it is so very hard to try and translate ideas into words that are understandable. That's why I think in ideas, there just aren't enough words to describe what I'm thinking about. Right now there is a debate/poll going on to decide upon the millionth word of the English language. 999,999 words, and there aren't enough for me to explain myself. Am I the only one who thinks like this?



PS. I have a confession to make. I blocked out yesterday's talk. It was about not feeling guilty for things others have done to you and how they have hurt you. I just don't know if I can deal with thinking about that right now. But I will let myself think on it in time, promise.
