What made me sad was yesterday, a close buddy of mine had came over to visit and brought Chinese food for us to have for dinner. Later in the evening, we were watching a show on television that focused on an individual who was drugged and date raped. Throughout the program, this individual struggled with what had happened and also struggled to keep it quiet. However, he did confide to a professional about what happened due to the fact that this professional could relate because he had also been sexually abused. Eventually, the "secret" was out in the open and the abuser was arrested.
My close buddy looked over at me with tears flowing down his face because he was well aware that this happened to me as well by someone whom I thought to be a good friend. He then asked me do I ever regret or thought about seeking justice for what this guy had done to me and pursue to have him arrested. I have to be honest and say that there are times when I had wished I had pursued to have him arrested. However, because of my faith and trust in God, most recently, I have heard that this guy is leading a very difficult and troubled life which is partly due to his actions and not being able to confront and owned up to what he did to me. Therefore, he chose to run away from the situation in hopes to forget. Nonetheless, in my opinion, that was the worst thing he could have done because when you run away from troubles, things only get worse and you remember those situations more so than if you stayed and confront them with a clean and genuine heart.
So. this is what made me sad...
