Let’s face it forgiveness is hard but holding a grudge is even harder. For, when holds a grudge they give free rent to those they are hating in their neurons and trust me they are firing off. Those full of such rage avoid places, events and any interactions where the “hate” maybe present even if there is more love/happiness that truly could be found there. Forgiveness can suck for the moment especially when someone doesn’t specifically ask for it but hate takes a lifetime to conquer and eats away from the happiness one can truly achieve. In the end if G-D can forgive billions maybe we can forgive the person next door?
FOOTNOTE- Forgiveness, doesn’t mean forgetfulness or lack of justice it just means closure in your own heart and soul.
