Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got. I’ve always tried to keep my 41 from people who are rude, aggressive and mean. But sometimes we 42_ become tied to people who might not have our best 43 at heart. Last summer, I became involved with a(n) 44 coworker who was at a bad spot in his life. I had a lot of 45 for him and decided to help him 46 this tough time, so I tried my best to 47 his rudeness when he lost his temper. However, just like a swimmer drowning in a pool, he grabbed on and ended up drowning me when I reached out and tried to 48 him. His rudeness gradually was out of 49 . One night, when I got up to get a glass of water, he started yelling at me to get back into my bedroom. I did as I was told but I was not happy about it. He 50 my shift in mood and asked what was wrong. But when I told him his behavior toward me was 51 and that I was very hurt by the way he had treated me, he was 52 . He could not understand his actions had 53 impacted me. He told me he didn’t have anything against me that there was no need for me to 54 it. I used examples from his life of things that had hurt him and then tried to make the 55 that the same things also made me 56 . I said, “ I always treat you with compassion, patience and understanding, but you haven’t treated me with 57 respect.” He was silent after listening to my words. What I had said might 58 him. People only change if they want to change. I didn’t know whether he would shift his 59 or not in the future, but I would continue to 60 him through my patience, understanding and kindness. 41.
