The Fence - (Is Saying Sorry Enough????)
There was once a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail in to the back of the fence.
The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails in to the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails in to the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.
When you say things in ANGER, they leave a SCAR.
You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.
IT WON’T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SAY I’M SORRY, THE WOUND IS STILL THERE.
A VERBAL wound is AS BAD AS a physical one.
Friends are a very rare jewel indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
BUT A FRIEND CAN ALSO CAUSE YOU PAIN AND CAN HURT YOUR FEELINGS LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN….
Is it worth to keep them????

Azzi, you sound like you've been hurt, ...hope this is not the case. I noticed you don't come around so often any more......
May the roof above us never fall in, and may the friends below never fall out!

Azilana ...It is obvious someone has hurt you. Before you make a decision about your friendship - stop. Don't make a hasty decision. I don't know what has happened to you but clearly you are upset. Just step back and take a breath. Try to figure out why your friend may have said what they did - no one is perfect. The same people that we care so much about and love can turn around and hurt us. There are times when someone has to lash out and unfortunately they usually do it to the ones they care the most about.
If a friend is a true friend we take the good with the bad. I hope you can sort this out. A true friend, I mean a really "true" friend can be hard to find.
I hope things work out for you and you are back to your happy lovely self very soon. Hopefully, whoever has hurt you will realize what they have done. I don't mean to butt into something that is not my business but I have been where you are - time does heal all wounds - even if it doesn't feel like that right now.
Take care

Hi azzy, if you write based on your feelings.. i can relate well ...But mind you.. friends are friends but certainly it will not be the same., but still never closed the door for frienship specially whom you treasured most. In my case, it is really hurt me TOO much, after all the bitterness, we are still friend but not be the same, damage has been done... Just think that not all people will behave same as we want them too"..
If it is worth keeping, it depends on the damage they have done. For me, i will still be friend with them but CAUTIOUS now.. nobody wants to get hurt on the second time around, ryt?
As everybody wishes for you... we like you being happy!!!

It is always best to take a high moral ground ...People will hurt you along the way. That's life. Even friends will do. But you called them friends in the first place because you found something in that person that you liked or complemented you. It is by our choice we made them friends. We must always think of what unites us and not what divides us.
As to your question - is saying sorry enough? IMHO, saying it is never enough because trust was broken. I personally believe there should be a sincere resolve to admit mistakes through reconciliatory actions so trust can be won back - if a person at fault really values the friendship that was damaged.
Just my two dirhams worth.

Azilana, I hope you are ...Azilana,
I hope you are feeling better. Sometimes friends do hurt you because they only tell you the truth. Some times one has to be cruel to be kind. I dont know what has happened, but if it is a once off, perhaps the friendship deserves a second chance, but if you get hurt over andover - then forget it

Hi azzy friends come & go; ...Hi azzy friends come & go; they happened to be in your line of vision hence you have a choice whether to accept them or not. its for you to decide to invite them in your circle & be super close. if times get rough you have also to decide what to do: to forgive or entirely forget them.
