I will always choose to be good

"When you are mature, you don't hurt other people for their wrongdoings, you accept the reality and take different path, a path of healing and moving on." I just read this statement before and I agree with it. I just remember someone with this kind of mindset. Even though we don't talk anymore, but every thing he said and advice stays in my mind. He is the person I can't just forget as long as I live. A very humble person I met. He will first explain his side calmly, and will be silent once he has made his point.

Back then I felt so bad when someone did something wrong to me, I thought I couldn't forget it. But as time went on, I realized that how we deal with each situation tests us to become a better person, it's for our personal growth.

The other day, my nephew's mother chatted with me. She left her children with us and she hasn't shown up for almost four years. I don't know where she is now but based on her post she has her new baby now. She did a lot of bad things against us, especially to her children. But instead of scolding her, I chose to talk to her properly. She asked about her sons and I sent some of their pictures because I know how she missed them.

I chose to understand her choice in life although it was really wrong. We can't bring back the past, so why prolong the grudge. She is still the mother and she has the right to them. We will let her visit and catch up with her children. But if the day comes when she want to takes back her children, we will not allow it. She doesn't have to worry because we always provide all the needs of her children here. Anyway, she probably has no intention of taking the children because she does not have the ability to take care of them. She intended to leave her children here with us because she was sure that they would have a good life here.

Thank you for reading!
