Some of us will always believe in the good in people, on any day we will be the first to say "But he/she isn't THAT bad".  We act as if we are the gate keepers  to anything good in our fellow men, and we are to always guard it no matter what.

Old friends, old lovers, old co-workers, old bosses, old classmates, it does not matter if there is one trace of good we would find and if not, heck we might even fabricate something lol.

We are the ones who get used up and drained for the dregs but we don't mind because we believe that you should always give people a fair chance, and that if we are able to turn our lives around and do better so could anyone else.

Hmmm  I guess everyone  has the ability to change but people must first recognize the need to do better, it is not for us to go forcing change on someone or 'seeing' change when there is none.

To preserve relationships and to improve on relationships we have to always try to see the good and not forget the bad but forgive it. Sorry, I don't know anyone who can forget the bad people have done, but I do know a few who are quite good at forgiving...I try my best to follow suit.

So what do you do when someone who has done you the world of wrong comes to you preaching "change" and wanting you to recognize this change but you honestly can not see it (maybe because your shared past is still quite vivid, or maybe there 'now' is ahm  kinda looking like  their 'then')?
