Nobody's perfect. Anybody who acts like they are, is in an even worse shape than those who made mistakes.

Because self-righteousness is yet another mistake, itself.

Not everyone who lived a hard life makes it easy for others to be that way. In my experience I’ve only met a couple who didn’t take out their past on others. It’s good that you don’t do that. In my opinion, those are the ones who deserve it most.

No one should be anyone’s beating bag b/c they chose to blame those who tried to help make them happy. There comes a point where they’re an adult and choose to be who they want whether that be good or bad.

@MellyMel22 I understand where you’re coming from, and I don’t disagree with the idea that no one should be a punching bag for someone else’s pain. Boundaries matter, and being compassionate doesn’t mean accepting harm or abuse.

These thoughts are going around me the past days.
I find it triggering, I had been somewhat ejected from my community for being too troublesome and not just once. Like you, I don't come from an easy past, didn't come with all the necessary foundations from early on.

The way the path lead me, I've always been more forgiving than looking for justice and lately I am questioning if I should be harder and exercise my kung fu forms bit more. I think I am too soft, in expense of doing things right sometimes. And too forgiving, instead of showing another what is happening.

Perhaps then we all are tools and we all have different things we are build for.

I think because of my upbringing, I would constantly find myself near the dark and the bad ones, and trying to help them, until I stayed too long around and became one of them, until my own darkness manifested.
I feel I was never truly been taken seriously enough to be forgiven. Or is it forgiveness I am looking for myself from myself.

I carry a distorted mind these past days so my words are reflecting that. And so, in my good days I too believe like you, that I have changed, but then some other days.
For the most part though, more days I am stabilizing myself in my new identity, of having changed.

Yes. I believe we should always aim to choose compassion. Even with people whose actions we find aborhant although, it's easier said than done at times when a person has hurt us or hurt someone we love. My experience is that sometimes, hurting people hurt others. I think we need to experience kindness and compassion in order that we learn to develop those things and show that behavior towards others. This is not the same thing as sheltering a person from the consequences of their actions and having accountability.
