This world is full of people who make your soul feel dirty. You punish yourself for their sins and the pain they caused you. Then there are the stupid rules that demand you save face. You are supposed to keep your hurts hidden and pretend like nothing happened while inside you die. The fact that you didn’t express (and in some cases acknowledge) these cuts and bruises on your spirit causes them to fester. It makes you bitter, suspicious and joyless. So what I suggest is go to these people and tell them exactly what they have done. Fuck pride! What has it ever got you? Maybe when you say something you will get an apology and stop this person from inflicting the same pain on others.
You probably won't want anything to do with these people. Your friends will tell you not to do it. To be silent and live with the poison. But that is very destructive to you. Why should you, the innocent party, suffer while the person who hurt you walks away scot-free? They might laugh at you when you tell them what they have done. Or deny that they have done it. But your words will plant seeds of doubt in their minds. They will no longer think of themselves as perfect or good. Knowing their flaws will help them become better human beings in the long run. Or if they dismiss it because they don't have the wisdom to listen to your truth, you will still feel peace because you have spoken your mind.
Don't suffer in silence. Let the poison out.

When depressed, I am tempted at times to become powerful enough to assign detectives to report back to me on the status of all those crumbs that harmed me/friends/family past. Then those who have not suffered in like kind... will at the hands of my pawns. Thereafter, I become sickened by all this effort, time, money, risk and... judgement that might be "off".
Then I think how blessed I am to be mostly/totally free of them/all that, as if God erected a wall. Then all that effort/time/money that could be thrown at fun & helpful investments in my/others' lives and how that would reap a more sunny/happy world for all... this the place I go when Satan tempts me and all too often he does when I'm tired.
As it is written, forgiveness sets you free... but you don't have to so fully trust them again.
yes! I totally agree with not staying silent. I <3 this.
