Quote of the day:
"Falling out of love is chiefly a matter of forgetting how charming someone is." Iris Murdoch
Thought of the day:
I saw on the news once this man on trial for the murder of several women. They showed the families of the victims making statements in court. Most were rather angry as you'd expect. The one always stood out to me though. It was a larger man, who's daughter was killed and possibly raped by the man on trial. He didn't shout, curse, or anything at the man. He told him that threw his faith in Jesus he forgave the man. To this day I still don't know what to think of it. Part of me thinks it's beautiful that someone could show such forgiveness. While part of me thinks it's insulting to his daughter that he could forgive a man who did that to her. In the end I think at the very least it makes me wonder at what I'm capable of forgiving. In comparison any nonsense in my life is petty much bull shit not to forgive.
