Trust is built in layers.
These layers can be added, removed, damaged, or repaired over time…
But some breaks are beyond repair and impossible to rebuild from.

We disagree
On?
One act of forgiveness to one person can generate ripples to thousands. Maybe it’s all in the receiving & how each layer chooses to view themselves (or act).
Intent probably matters.
I know people who are so dumb, that although you forgive them and put up with them, they still do dumb shit that harms you, so it is best to leave them. Leaving someone is sometimes best for everyone. I vaguely remember Buddha saying one should stay away from bad people, it is not weakness. Instead of hating them, you feel sorry for how stupid they are, but it is just impossible to help, it always gets worse if you try.
Not condoning one should put up with toxic relationships. Boundaries are importance but we can love others from afar and not like them.
Just as we can like someone and not love them … emotionally at least 🤣
Buddha says that. Bodhisattva by definition is one who has attained Nirvana but **chooses** to come back to save (insert your own definition of that)
The suffering
& never forgotten typically.
Trust yourself.
What can you learn about yourself from the experience?
That I’m on my highest path. Release any expectancy of outcome. That I know myself, my heart, my intent, my inner compass. I’ve followed unwavering faith for years, forged my spirit in the fire, and kept going. Only I can decide what wavers my frequency. When times are heavy I must zoom out, like the eagle, and see the bigger picture. I must let go..
