Strong? Or weak?

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong".

What do you think of this statement?

I totally agree and believe in it. For some reason, a lot of people nowadays think of the person who forgives others and overlooks what they did as a weak person, who can never get anywhere in this world because he or she prefers to give others the benifit of doubt and forgive them for their mistakes and wouldn't mind giving them a second chance.

But then again, when does it considered to have crossed the line and the person is labelled as a push over, who easily lets people get over him or her, because they can't stand up and defend themselves or fight for themselves, while forgiving others and making excuses for how they are being treated?

Did you ever stop and wonder that maybe that person is well aware of how others are dealing with him/her yet still prefers to forgive and forgive? Sometimes it's not about being naive, or too weak to say something, but merely because there is no use of saying anything, or because you have your own way of dealing with the situation. Only problem is, a lot of times, these people are underestimated, and are labelled as 'weak', who can't take care of things on their own. Did you ever bother to look into them? Really understand what it is that they're thinking? You might be surprised!

I'm not saying that all those who can never say something are strong from the inside. Some are truly weak, they don't have the guts to speak out and fight, I'm just saying that there are others who are amazingly strong, in their own way, you just need to pay more attention.

Sadly, a lot of us only judge by what we see. We don't take the time to really understand each other anymore..
