Past lives
I had an interesting conversation today with someone about how to deal with people from your past, more specifically people who have hurt you.
His feeling was that you have no further dealings with them, though you may (once they are forgiven) get to a point where you can say hi and bye. My theory is that so long as you cannot interact normally with that person, your “relationship” with them will always be about the past. They will always be “that” person that did you wrong which is why you cannot speak to them or be around them.
I think that at some point when you are past the hurt and the anger, you have to put that aside and give yourself a chance to re-evaluate whether this person can add value to your life. If they cannot then go ahead and nix any future relationship. If they can however, take your time and slowly let them be a part of your life again.
