My memory is blank

A good quote from perhaps the greatest movie of all time:

"Some people say forgive and forget. Nah, I don't know. I say forget about forgiving and just accept. And... get the hell out of town."
Debi Mayberry, Gross Point Blank. 1997.

My thoughts: People have a tendency to shit on one another, unfortunately it seems to be human nature. We can be very greedy selfish animals. And whilst it is never pleasent to be let down my own personal view is that to allow an unhappy past episode to continue to haunt and sour one's present, and possibly one's future, is a bad, bad way to live. Get over it, move on. Life is far too short and why miss out on the good stuff hear and now if you're still stuck in yesteryear's rut?

And so acceptance of one another weaknesses is perhaps the best approach. It worked for Debbie and Martin.

Alternativly there is the 'bide your time' tactic as demonstrated by Terrance Stamp in Sonderbergh's excellect film The Limey - "Bide your time and everything becomes clear, and you can act accordingly." Find the one who wronged, tell him your feckin' coming and then do him. Or such like.
