Unfortunately,
negative thoughts don't
come with glaring messages printed on them the way cigarettes do, but perhaps we would do well to condition ourselves as if they did: just one won't hurt, we tell ourselves when indulging our weakness for fatalistic thoughts, and perhaps just one occurrence might not--but once it becomes a persistent habit, chances are slight that we'll still escape unscathed. Consider
that what a
person forgives is quite a unique process. Long-distance
relationships were meant
to be temporary. We
are often tempted
to complain about what we cannot control without ever making an effort to change or manage what we can control. If
