Kristen Stewart

I think I spelled her name right; but, I really don't care. That girl from the Twilight series. From what I have read in the headlines, she cheated on her co-star who she lived with and now feels really bad. I have little if any sympathy for her, she was a tramp and betrayed him and after getting caught she felt bad. She should and it is reported that she does.

Here is the thing, at least she regrets it. So many people today cheat on their partners and just shrug it off as a thing. They act as if it is meaningless and don't care how it effects the person they claimed to love or the others around them including their families. At least she felt bad, that means that there is still some good in her.

One of my favorite lines from the bible, it was one of the exes favorite lines too, was that Israel had lost the ability to blush, to feel guilt. I don't know much about the two people, I have not seen any of the movies nor is likely that I will. I know practically nothing of what they are like in person and don't care. This post is about morality and forgiveness and hope. She cannot take back what she did and there is no reason for him to trust her again, they had not even married. I have been cheated on and know what it feels like, they get to do it in public and I can only imagine that just makes it even harder. People who meet my ex do not know she cheated on me, everyone knows that this actress cheated on him and he is probably embarrassed knowing that everyone knows he was cheated on.

In the end, it is just two people and her unilateral decision will effect them both for the rest of their lives; but, they can both choose to learn from it. It is my hope that he learns that he can fully love again and that not everyone cheats. For her, I hope that she learns that you cannot have your cake and eat it too. She has a good start if she truly regrets what she did, she can learn from that. It might be tougher for him, you can only risk your heart so many times before you give up on believing you can choose better.
