Spanky, there are no stupid questions. Didn't you go to college school? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you did. What's that you say? . . . Spanky, I'm insulted that you would think that I would judge you as a person for not going to college school! I just do not care about that kind of stuff 🙄   Anyway … You don't need to forgive and you don't need to forget. Forgive and Forget always seem to go together like BBQ Fritos with mashed potatoes and brown gravy — there's a reason for that — and it ain't because any of that nonsense is going to help you. 🥳

Spankathon2025, you seem — to me — a little bit touchy today. You are (obviously) free to be as touchy as ya wanna be. I wanted to talk to you about forgiveness, but your demeanor is making things a little difficult. No, no; this is my problem. I would never ask you to change, even for just like 4 minutes for a simple conversation. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don't dilly-dally your forgiveness

First of all, we all know nowadays that you should be bizzy, Bizzy, BIZZY all the time. "Efficiency" is the be-all-end-all. (Even though what is specifically efficient, isn't efficient at all at scale. I didn't make the rules!) For the love the Sweet L_rd, Spankler-Jones, don't take a minute to just breathe or anything like that. 😤 The very fact that you are right this now reading this dank webpage, well, that's not a great think for your hurry-score.)

And so — if were going to forget, why on earth would you take even a few seconds to forgive? That's dilly-dallying writ LARGE, Spanky-Louise! But more importantly, with an inability to forget — that is, erase your memory, which you can not actually do — why forgive at all? Here's some icky info for you: because forgiveness is a trick of convenience . . .

Most of us understand that swimming in a filthy hollow of hate and rage is counterproductive — and I'm only mentioning the least of it — and that none of it even tinkles on the object of the malevolence, but, instead, only harms the body that is revving its amygdala. What's that you say? . . . Spanky-Jack, I think I am getting to the point; I mean, I don't think it's me because I understand myself like crystal. Sheesh.

• a pissed-off body only harms the pissed-off body
• "You" can forget, but no body can forget
• why try to trick your self?

BUT WHAT IS THE SOLUTION, A-HOLE?!

Well, I never! Actually, I have. Lots of times. Simply this: instead of "Forgive and Forget", think this — "Forgo and File". So, You say to Your Self, "Look, this pooheel should get what's coming!" But for like a thousand reasons, you don't have a way to put some bad vibes in their perceptions … not "now", at least . . .

So, you will forgo. BUT if the opportunity for mischief should arise? Heck, yeah! That's just good clean fun. There is no reason to perseverate on all that! Spanky don't live in the future. Is that it? 😏 Nope! Because after you have decided to relieve "your self" of anxiety in the "now", "You" have one more step: filing. Because: if you don't file it, how can you reap your forgone prize? (Should the opportunity arise. And you still feel the same about it . . . Spank, that's the entire reason that greater risk carries the potential of greater reward.)

I know "you" at times feel irritated with "me", but Spanky-roo, I am, however ineptly, trying to help. And you are, always, OK in my BOOK. 😹
