The song below is posted not ignoring the fact that right now I'm in the midst of a struggle.
Forgiving and loving--what it means to hold a grudge. Does a hurt change a relationship forever so that the damage is done and there is no repair?
What is expected of me when I know full well I am the only one whose attitude I can change... Am I allowed to be angry, for how long--when am I supposed to move on and live the way God wants me to... we are human, we have memory, going to touch a fire once is stupid, going to touch it twice is incredibly stupid... you know the repercussions the second time even if you didn't the first.

Yeah, sticking your hand in fire twice isn't very bright. But there's no good reason for sticking your hand into fire at all. A different analogy: picking blackberries from thorny blackberry bushes. Yes, the thorns can hurt you, but is it worth the risk for the sweet treat that is fresh blackberries? (and don't throw in the thornless bushes, it's just an analogy!) It's not just the doing stupid and getting hurt, that's merely the risk, but it's also what's the possible payoff? Sometimes we're hurt so much we give up blackberries forever (or settle for that garbage out of cans in the store). Hands in fire? Only if I see a glimmer that may be the One Ring. Then it may be worth the risk getting burned if I can save all of Middle Earth (or, become corrupted by it and try to rule the World... wait, my attempt at analogy and understanding is rapidly degrading into my own psychotic delusions... sorry ;-)
