It's not hard to be better than that. Make your peace and move on.
You do you.
Why do you feel the need" to be better than that"?, There's an old saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice. . . . . .
If you choose to ignore how someone has treated you in the past so that in some weird ideology you feel that you're better than them, there is something wrong with your thought process, that just makes you a pushover!. If that's what you want to be, go for it.
Now, on the other hand, if that person had acknowledged that they made a mistake and apologised for it, then try and move on but always be guarded, leopards don't generally change their spots, do they?.
Christian ideals of allowing another to walk all over you are misplaced. Do you think they did that in the supposed holy wars? lol.
Keep on giving dude.
If they were that bad, why would they be an old friend. Why would they not just be ignored? Dying for or from the jab? Too bad.
Who is to know why some people cling to a friendship?, Some people do it because they have no self worth, personally I purposely have very few people I call friends, those that support and have stood by me get to be called that and I would do anything for them.
People are far too fickle for me, I don't care for all of the falseness, if you do or the op does, then that's your choice I'm not knocking either I'm just simply saying it's not something I would do, sometimes people learn the value of how they treat others when you treat them as they have treated you, most of the time though they just go on being what they are. That is also fine, I just don't hang around to see it.
