Bones has a very
forgiving nature.  

He always has,
and always will.  

If he held a grudge
for every time
someone did him dirt,
or for every bad trick
he’s ever pulled,
he’d be mad all the time.  

That chip on his shoulder
would weigh him down.

He figures that
wouldn’t do him
any good.  

It sure as hell wouldn’t pass
Bones one indisputable
rule of thumb.  

There’d be no money in it.

Bobby

Thanks Bill,

You know a lot about Bones, and that's a good thing to.

Thanks for the kind, and true words on Bones.

As I'm sure you know, Bones likes Bones.

Thanks dear Ida,

You have the right idea on Bones.  

In his world, you have to learn to cope.  It's the only way to stay alive.

Love Bobby

Bones is very wise Bobby in the fact that he doesn't hold a grudge, for if he did it only leads to trouble. Take care.

Thanks Lindsay,

No, Bones could never afford to hold a grudge.  He wasn't raised that way.  With Bones, people took turns beating each other up.  I'll beat you up today, and you can beat me up tommorrow.  That way everyone remains friends.

That's right Bobby and that's the practical aspect of it all.
Bones is a thinker and a survivor.
I like Bones!

Bones has a very
forgiving nature.  

He always has,
and always will.  

He's needed it... so that circumstances don't define him. *S*

Thanks dear Suthern,

Yes, Bones needs a forgiving nature.  Perhaps that does help in maintaining some of what Bones really is.

Thanks dear Annie,

Yes, it's always best to forgive and forget.  That's much better than being a grump all the time, which is no good at all.

Love Bobby

Does Bones forgive? Or, does he just let it ride?

Thanks dear Osprey,

Well, it's a little of both.  If a person utters those magic words "I'm sorry." then he will forgive that person.  Other times he just lets it ride for convenience.

Love Bobby
