I am with you. Blind forgiveness is a poison in relationships. Everything has a limitation. So does forgiveness.

回复melly的评论: True, forgiveness maintains and safeguards a relatioship. I appreciate what he presented and offered when the person returned his shoes.
However, I don't understand the beginning part. Think about his: if the person said:' you killed sb", Shen responded"oh, really?' so he put himself in jain, till the person found out he was wrong, then got out of the jail?
I guess, a relationship is a mutual responsibility. One side offers blind forgivenss doesn't necessarily nuturn it. It should be reasonable.

Well, shen's story told me that one should be forgiving and provide what his/her friends need whenever one is able to. It may work for some people, not all. To me, matching is the most important. Like in a marriage, friendship also requires the adjustment of both sides.

Melly, I am not sure if I agree with the "SHEN". To me, he doesn't have a principle of standing for himself.
In today's world, if you expect others to wake up on their own, which is actually great, most of time, it won't work that way. And it requires the person who should wake up also have a level of spirits and mind.
Perhaps I am too black and white. To friends, being frank and honest is my bottom of line to value a friendship. If it is a shortcut to wake him/her up, I'll speak it out.
