How

How do you make right a wrong when the wrongdoer is a friend?

How can you keep the trust when the secret entrusted to you was in itself a betrayal against you?

How can you declare the crime when you might be dooming not only the guilty but also his children?

You want to forgive and forget but how can you when in fact you don’t see a penitent heart?

But how can you remain silent when it tortures your soul not to do what is right?

For I know that by blowing the whistle I might save the sinner from future crimes.

Tough love. How do you apply it?

  1. This is a very unusual post. It's not so much what you say as it is what you don't say. This leaves one to depend on their imagination which could definately be inaccurate.
    As far as tough love...you step up to the plate and swing the bat with all intentions of hitting a home run.

  2. Hi. Thanks for the message. I need that. I couldn't really say in detail what it is about... it is also a way to protect the friend...
