We go through life learning the gospel of reconciliation and forgiveness, but sometimes that isn’t enough to forgive people for publicly hating on amala or eating semo.
So, here’s a list of justifications for the next time you want to tell someone, “Sorry for yourself”.
You didn’t come to this life with anybody
Even if you are a twin and you came with a permanent photocopy, e no too mean. All man for himself. Another person’s need for reconciliation is none of your business.
It’s liberating
Emancipate yourself from the shackles of seeing someone that has shown you shege. Keep them at a distance and only interact when necessary.
Because people are EVIL
When you refuse to forgive people, your eyes will open, and you’ll see them in their true colours.
People beg too much
If you keep malice, nobody will knock on your door in the a.m. for biscuit and milk. The economy is too hard for you to be sharing your things with a badly behaved person.
Actions have consequences
They have used their reggae to spoil your blues, so now they must bend and break their waist every time they see you.
Protect yourself
Keep the malice and let them know you’re keeping this malice, so when they see you, they’ll jump fence and fly to the next compound.
It serves as a deterrent
If people know you keep malice, fewer people will try you, and if fewer people try you, you’ll have more time to do reality things.
Because you can
You’ve been roaming this earth as long as you have. Nobody can beat you because of small malice.
