The other side of my story

I’ve always believed that you really can’t judge someone by hearing what someone else has to say about them… cos often when things go sour between two people you get to hear only one side of the story… one persons perception of what happened. But what about the relationships where I have been at the receiving end… Can I still judge the other person? Can I ever put myself in their shoes?

We all go through phases where we are in a messy relationship and are too helpless to do anything… we go numb and try n back off and try n deal with it in our way… and most often don’t even realize what we are doing to the other person… For some this numbness lasts a few hours… for others probably a few months or years…

I don’t think they ever understood what I went through even though I tried to express it all in words… then how can I say that I know for a fact that they wronged me… how can I hate them when there were enough n more reasons why I loved them… when there were so many occasions when they were there for me… How can I judge them when I will never know the other side of my story…
