unhappiness

I'm taking a college class in philosophy right now, and part of my work is writing these "journal entries." My dad was my main person that I bounced ideas off of, but he's not gonna be around much until the end of july. This means that I have no one to talk to about philosophy once I leave class. That's where the internet comes in. I'll be posting these short essays on my reading almost daily for another two weeks or so. It's pretty much the only writing I'm finding the time to do right now.

On the particular piece, Sisyphus is an ancient greek absurd hero, who was doomed to a life of futility for lying to the Gods. He rolls a giant boulder up a mountain, and when he almost gets to the top, the stone rolls down to the bottom and he must start over again. This is my response to a chapter we read on this subject, I hope it makes sense. (It's freshly written, so ignore small errors and such)

Forgiveness is the key
That opens the door
To unhappiness
There is no need to
Forgive if they ddin't
Do something wrong
In the first place
If you forgive them
They'll simply hurt you
And then you'll be miserable
All over again
It's up to you
But hear my warning;
Forgiveness only leads
To more unhappiness
