Forgive and forget

It is overrated. Sure, a lot of people say that we should just forgive one's mistakes and forget about it if one is willing to change. But for some, it applies to those who are not even putting the slightest effort to change. There's a limit to the patience to how much they can forgive and then forget the incident. If it happens each time, and it keeps on repeating, Im sure that person will feel the burn, though he/she would not show it since he/she is very forgiving in the first place.

The worse situation is, we forgive someone who doesnt realise he/she has made a big mistake.And then they will do it and do it and do it for as long as they live. For example, some asshole who are always late for work. The boss forgives him, thinking he feels guilty and noes his mistake, and let him off. He does it twice, thrice and many more times.

The kind boss, thinking that relationships are important,keeps this anger to himself, and swears by the forgive and forget principle. As days go by, the boss gets more and more pissed. He wants to screw up his employee really hard! As he approaches the employee, he realises something. Hes a failure in terms of expressing himself. But he noes sooner or later he has to tell his employee off. One day he gathers his courage and faces his employee. He cant take it anymore. His words are vicious and sharp.

It gets the employee worked up. He challenges his employer, asking what is the fuck is wrong with his attitude suddenly. War of words are aplenty, but the employer is soft enough to give in, not risking jeapordising his relationship with the employee. Things become calm and things go back to normal.

The next day the employee is late, again.

This is just an example. No boss would be so stupid. And im sure some people would like to be the employee for a change.
