Relationships built over years can be so easily destroyed by one thoughtless word or act of indiscretion. Restoring these relationships to their former state is challenging, if not impossible, because the memory of the hurt and pain will serve as a constant reminder to maintain one's distance to avoid the risk of being subjected to the same experience again. In such situations, it's best to take heed of the lesson, tread carefully and move on. February 3, 2025.
