Cait's Ramblings

Wikipedia: "to forgive without requiring the other to change is not only self-destructive, but ensures a dysfunctional relationship will remain so by continually rewarding mistreatment.".... "Inappropriate forgiveness, perhaps motivated by a desire to re-connect and restore a sense of community, carries the risk of encouraging a false sense of self, harming a victim's self-image and making true forgiveness harder to achieve."


(Completely unrelated to the recent trauma)
Is that not how all forgiveness should be?

for example:
The random environmentalists like... PETA only for the environment.. should only forgive the company that manufactured polystyrene, once that company makes a polystyrene alternative or whatever, and you know, ceases production of that chemical?

What about if that company starts producing polystyrene again, even though they know it harms the environment?


and while we're on the subject of the environment.. I found this highly entertaining XD

APPARENTLY if you ride your bike to save the environment (insted of driving a car) the energy you save by riding the bike will make you LIVE longer..


...and that longer life will use up MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY ENERGY... than if you were to drive a car in the first place.


LMAO!!!!!!!

isnt that wild? XDD
