god I hate my life sometimes... · 8:34pm May 23rd, 2014
(copied and pasted from my Facebook account)
A very big change has come over me and the way I conduct myself, even in the past few months. I didn't really realize it until last night, when I was mugged at knifepoint while walking back to my house. The guy who did it only got away with about 8 dollars in cash and my govermment cell phone, which he had asked to borrow as a ruse to get to the actual mugging, I assume.
Now, for those of you who do know me in real life, I do tend to have a bit of an anger issue at times, but in the wake of this act, I realized something last night as I lay in my bed: I hold no anger or resentment at all towards the man who did this to me. Sure, it shook me up more than a little bit, and I only got an hour or so of sleep last night, but at the same time I found it so easy to forgive him and move on with my life, it's rather scary coming from a background of holding grudges and being pissed at people for way longer than is really necessary.
What's causing this? I don't know. But what I do know is that it's not a bad change. As for the incident last night, don't worry. I wasn't harmed physically in any way, just a little shook up like I said. And as for the man who decided that my 8 dollars and free cell phone was worth him mugging me? May God have mercy on him when the Judgment Day comes.
Huh.
...I'm sorry that happened to you, really.
Upon thinking about however, maybe he probably needed the money?
Well, I'd say that this is good, if you look at it right. I've recently had a drastic increase in cheeriness in my outlook recently, and I'm quite happy with it myself. Never did like myself when I held grudges.
Your life was put into perspective, small events can trigger the largest change and one sentence can bring your character into question, it's good that you don't hate him, in all honesty I would have given him my watch too.
Take a look at this.
It's easy to hate, but it takes real morality to seek understanding and empathy.
I'm not sure. Perhaps you've aged to the point where your mind has tempered itself. You haven't become senile, trust me, you've just become more mature. Less testosterone-fueled, you might say.
Sorry that happened to you, but serenity is never to be scoffed at.
If you can let go of the anger, good for you - why should you be robbed of your peace as well as your belongings?
Well, have fun with your new forgiving personality.

Yeah. No one has the time to mug someone for maple syrup.
I have to admit, you're a better man than I.
