Re: Hurt By Friendship
Dear natalia,
thank Allah swt that you have a good practical and honest heart. that you place demand of honesty so that you can be honest as well, regardless. if someone mistreats you, think, that this is all that person could do, either for being raised like so, thankless, selfish and mean spiritedness, or the personality of that person is not ready for you.
it must hurt, and that is a living proof that you are in the right, when someone has wronged you, egregiously.
be consistent and do not ever hide your emotions of hurt ot pain,happiness and liking, or being doubtful of someone's intention or motives.
if they are just as clear minded, and honest, both of you will sit down over coffee in person, and dewrinkle of the miscommunication or implanted poison.
unless, that happens, there is no genuine sorry, so genuine relief for the other person from her/his own self guilt oover having hurt someone.
friendships are for keeps, not for selfish actions. be it between two best friends, or any two people who ideally can have a very long standing friendship.
but it goes mellow and sour, terse and full of disappointment, when someone turns out to be a failure at keeping a friendship fair, commited and strong.
in the mean time, what you can do, is that let that individual be on her/his alone and figure out one horrible mistakes. keep no grudges. pray that such a pitiable person does not hurt someone else like that, as a friend of as a parasite.
like sindsagar said, realistic expectation, is helpful. but if you are 100 % honest, chances are, people are not used to that and so, they destroy all good will, mindlessly.
for them to realize what they have done you have to remain good yourself.
and do not let your life be affected by disappointing friendships.
that is your lesson.
if such a person ever comes back, to offer an apology genuinely. and you can see that she/he has realized their flaws.
people go by appearances and it is true: that is what does them in big time.
you wish them well. and you live in honor for Allah swt is watching over every-body. and he does do justice. be faithful and patient. may all smiles come your way and every success find you before you get to it. amen. :>
best,
Dushwari
