masala chai

for the longest time, i loathed anything with a cinnamon flavor.  naturally, a chai was a gruesome enemy of my tastebuds.

but sometimes, when you overcome a small inconvenience, you gain a large benefit.  chai is a superfood, high in antioxidants and great for circulation. 

i think forgiveness is one of those things.  man, does it sting like a mug.  but once it's done, how free do you feel?

i don't pretend to be some generous person with lots of grace and patience.  oh no, sir.  i have yet to meet a more evil character that mine.  but i think everyone has the capacity to forgive.  the painful-as-hell-part is choosing to do it.  and i think why it's that way is that that other person will never know what they did or ever agree with you that it was wrong of them to hurt you.  and they'll probably go on continuing to hurt others the same way.  that gets me.
