That's been my perception for so long that I even apply it to friends nowadays. I've been very close to a lot of people at many points in my life but have lost contact with pretty much all of them. I'm not blaming them. But I'm not blaming myself either. Why get emotionally affected by something that would not have actual significance to my future?
This is the way I've looked at things after a certain point in my life and that's when I became care-free about...well, just about everything in my life. No matter how down I get because of something SERIOUS, I know to learn to accept it and move on. And when something slightly short of serious happens, I brush it aside.
As a result, I give most people advice along these lines when they turn to me for help. Just forget about it. Think about the times you were embarrassed because you couldn't answer a question in class, or because you didn't do your homework and you were humiliated. Do you even remember any of those situations now? Yet, at that point, it was probably the most important thing to you and you couldn't get over it for days.
I don't know if what I'm saying is getting through to any of you but I just want to say this: Fuck it. Let life take its course and whatever happens, don't let it get in the way of your happiness.
Whether someone did something wrong or right is impossible to tell because we don't know for sure what wrong or right is. Whether someone deserves what they got is not something for us 'mortals' to decide. So let it be. Life is full of people who do the most fucked up things in the world yet succeed over everyone else; as well as great people who have hard lives and die young. Accept it. Life is unfair. Just make sure you live your life to the fullest and don't spend the whole of it whining about how lucky others have been.
I can tell you this. I quite frankly couldn't give a shit. I don't care who's right or wrong. Some people did messed up things, some people didn't. But who cares? In 5 days this will all be over and half of us will forget about the things that happened. In a few months, I won't see 99% of the people I see here everyday. And for this reason I won't hold grudges against anyone for anything that they have done because it has literally no effect on my future. That's why it's practically impossible to get on my bad side - because I don't have one.
What really remains is that we are in charge of our own lives and we're here to enjoy it and make the best out of it. Single, or poor, or in terrible health, or planning to destroy mankind, or spending your last moments choking on a bottle cap; just do what you feel you've been put on this earth for, and don't let tiny things get in the way of your happiness.
