Forgiveness, is probably one of the hardest things that humanity may have to do. When someone hurts us, innately we have a drive to simply hurt them back. It is definitely a battle to supress those innate feelings that seem to take over us anytime we are confronted with a situation that requires us to forgive. For some they may say that forgivenss doesn’t entail that we forget, but is that really true. Can you truly say you have forgiven someone if you plan on not forgetting what they have done? I guess the more pertinent question is should there be any given circumstances in which someone just doesn’t deserve to be pardoned or forgiven. For instance, if someone raped your sister, would you forgive them? If someone stole your car, would you forgive them? If someone killed someone close to you, would you find it in your heart to forgive them? Under what circumstances is forgiveness granted and under what circumstances is it not? Should we not forgive our fellow man irregardless of the situation, I mean God does forgive us despite what the situation is. Please comment below and let us know your thoughts.

By the way…I just want to take a few to give shoutouts to all of our readers, without all of you this blog wouldn’t be. I hope that we can all gain some deeper insight from these topics. Love you all!

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had an amazing weekend. Today’s topic is about whether or not a person should marry their partner after dating them for just a few weeks. As you all may know Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian’s little sister got married this weekend to Lamar Odom that plays on the Lakers. Now mind you these two started dating just about a month ago and they have already jumped the broom. Now I can’t judge on whether it was for love or for television ratings but how many people really think that after just a short period of dating someone that your ready to really commit the rest of your life, as it very well should be to them. Personally, I believe in having a great deal of time in getting to know a person before I can commit my life to them, but this is just me of course. I think that a few weeks just isn’t enough to know that you truly love someone. Love takes times and it takes you through various rollercoaster rides and I think before you jump the broom you have to be 100% sure that no matter what direction this roller coaster ride may take you that your in it for the long run. I’m not sure if you can feel like this just after a short while. Well, I would really love to hear your thoughts about this topic! Feel free to leave comments below!

What exactly would you constitute as cheating? We have had two segments on should we stay with someone that has cheated on us and we all have different opinions on what we will or should do in such situation. What should be considered as cheating on our significant other? I think it’s definitely time that we make that distinction. Would you consider dancing at a party with someone else the way you would be dancing with you partner cheating? Is looking at someone of the opposite sex when your partner is not around cheating? Or is it even ok to look at someone else? My take on this is that I find nothing is wrong with looking as long as it doesn’t go beyond just a look. If all sorts of ideas going through your mind about what you can, or would or should do to someone like that then I think that can be considered cheating. Is talking to someone else other than your other half for countless hours cheating?  I think we all will have our ideas of what cheating is and for most as long as the significant other don’t sleep with someone else or even perhaps kiss with someone then it’s not cheating. Oh wait, how about if your significant other decides to go out with their “friend” something you would perhaps consider a date, would you consider that cheating? Let me know what you guys thinking cheating is and where do you cross the line in order for it to be considered a problem. Please feel free to comment below!

So what exactly happens when you and your partner decide that it just isn’t working out, or what happens when you and a friend decide to take it too far? Many times in this life we find ourselves in compromising situations that we know we have no business being in. And having a friend with benefits is definitely classified as one of those situations. A good example of this is when you’ve been in a relationship with someone and both of you mutually decide or one of you may decide that it isn’t working out and decide to go your seperate ways. Yet, you still find your paths crossing and doing the same things that you used to do when you were together. Another scenario may be, that the both of you were friends and now you find yourself crossing the line of what friends would normally do. How do you handle a situation like that or is this situation even a healthy one. Well let me say from my personal experiences that a frienship with benefits can cause you to lose a whole lot more than you bargained for. Once you have crossed that line with someone that was once your friend, you do risk losing that frienship and so much more. Now I am not saying that this can’t be a positive thing because maybe it can lead to a long lasting relationship but I really wouldn’t bet on it ending this way the majority of the time. A lot of times we find ourselves caught up in the moment and we really don’t take the time to think about what we’re doing until it is in fact too late. I think keeping our friendships separated from relationships is very important because in the end it can save you from a lot of heartache. If you want the frienship to be something more than what is then then address that to your friend and go from there but don’t put your heart or self out there and find yourself too deep that you forget that the initial intentions were never there for a long lasting relationship.

Now I definitely know that we all will have an opinion on this one…so like I always say feel free to share your comments below and don’t forget to invite a friend to read. So this is a question that I hear all the time and what better place to talk about then here, on The Things We Talk About. Should you stay with someone that has already proven themselves to be unfaithful to you? Before I even share my opinion, let’s take the time to look at the situation. Imagine you have been with you partner for quite sometime. You have invested your time and not to mention your money into this relationship and then you find yourself in a situation where your partner has stepped out on you with someone else. What would you do? Should you stay in this relationship? Would you find it in your hear to forgive the person? Is there really a right answer to this question? Now for my opinion, before I open the floor for discussion. YES, you should, (I know your thinking I’ve lost my mind, and somehow I think I may have). I think it’s imperative that you do find it in your heart to forgive your partner for their wrongdoing. This is the Christian thing to do. Not too long ago, me and a few friends were discussing the Agape love that God has for us and it’s the same type of love we should have for each other. So if this is the case then isn’t the person deserving of a second chance, just like God always gives to us time and time again. I know that this may seem impossible but it does make you wonder how deep is our love. Now I know I will be crucified for saying this, but maybe giving a cheating lover another chance may very well be the thing that proves the immense amount of love that you have for your fellow fallen being.

Lately I’ve been finding myself going through some tough times and I’ve been trying to do things on my own and trying to find my own way but time  and time again I am reminded of how I can’t do things on my own and how I should always let God take control and do things his own special way. Now I know many can relate to what I’m saying and that is why just like a friend shared this with me, I feel compelled to share it with all of you…so with that said enjoy!

The poem is entitled Let Go…and Let God…

As children bring their broken toys

With tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God,

Because he was my friend.

But then, instead of leaving Him

In peace, to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help,

With ways that were my own.

At last, I snatched them back

And cried, “How can you be so slow?”

My child, He said, ” What could

I do” You never did let go.”
