It’s amazing how people
believe that sorry is glue that can mend anything and put it back to shape. Forgetting one important aspect that is, one
is dealing with humans not toys. Who do not easily heal but take time as there
are emotions involved.
I would like to look at
this aspect using Mvhango whereby we
have characters like Thandaza and Pheko who share history and at the same time still
care and love each other even though Thandaza is married to Ranthumeng. This
goes on to show that emotions know no bounds and it’s not easy to bury and
forget them as if they do not exist. This can be seen in Thandaza’s case as she
easily trusts Pheko when he comes back looking for a job at Mkwevho Holdings thinking that he is only there to
better the company but little does she know that he is only there to destroy
and take what she treasures the most. That is her company from her. I have
always found life a bit intriguing; the people who hurt us the most are not
strangers but people who we would have
loved and shared every detail about our lives. The very same people that we
would expect to protect and guard our lives. Then when our treasured friends
betray us and offer sorry as an excuse you tend to wonder who to trust. Or
trusting someone is the biggest mistake one can make in their life. As sorry
does not build any bridge or mend the heart.
In Thandaza’s case
Pheko offered his apologises and said it was the only way he could pay off his
debts. In other words he saw Thandaza as his escape goat that he could use to
settle his debts. Showing how little we know of the people who we love and
treasure in most cases. Forgetting about such experiences and moving on is one
of the most painful things ever but for one’s sanity and happiness one needs to
let go of the past and move on. This entire process depends on one being ready
to forgive.
