Childhood nemesis
No, I did not recently encounter one but just thinking if I did. Word is that a person who caused a great deal of misery for a number of people including myself has changed their life for the better. After thinking about it I could be happy that this person has changed for the better. At the same time I cannot fully forgive the transgressions done by this person as a kid and have decided I will never seek out this person. If it happens that I see this person in public and cannot avoid them then I will talk for a minute then part company. Just curious as to how others deal with feelings towards those that hurt them and what the strategy is for dealing with them today. Normally, I am a person who wishes only the worst for such people but I guess that I am mellowing now that school is many years in the past. Also, none of us are perfect so I guess I would want the same forgiveness extended towards me even if my offenses were much smaller.
