Isn't it futile, to hold grudges, and to stay angry, for things that happened
in the past,, who does that affect only ourselves.
Is your opinion different from mine?

I've never seen the point in holding grudges why should I allow people continue to keep me prisoner within their sad miserable little world.

As far as relationships?

Stay angry as long as necessary to survive or get through it.
Forgive when you can. Not when others say "It is time to move on" or "You have to get over this".
But NEVER scold FORGET
(Or act like something never happened.. because it did happen)

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me

We teach people how to treat us. And forgive and forget is teaching them you are a doormat

Oh i agree, nothing is instant, in time though, if something is still eating you up,
with regard to what happened, isn't that bad for us, if we can't move on from it ?

Is there not a time when we realize that we are stronger because of being able to forgive conversing

Bearing a grudge is futile, it's a form of self punishment. Some people carry this burden around for years allowing their animosity and loathing to eat away at them endlessly.
There is a quick and almost immediate way out though....it's called forgiveness.
Forgiveness, when it's authentic, will release a person from the chains of this type of suffering and that's what bearing a grudge is, it's a form of suffering.
Forgiveness releases you from such unnecessary suffering. .. always.

It's impossible to forget...unless one is incredibly good in manipulating their memory...
With the time you think less and less about it...but sometimes, a little something could bring the memory back to life...

Yes that's true, but when you say you can forgive, does that mean that you
can be ok with the person that you needed to forgive, or not?

It always works. The only people who would disagree are those who have not tried to forgive, and I mean to forgive fully, with the awareness, like you mentioned, that its your well being and peace of mind that benefits the most.

Sorry i don't open links.

Some know instinctively that they are in toxic relationships
They also stay too long in them, for different reasons, never good to stay in one

Dammit Anna, I thought this was going to be about Manchester shoe gazers Oasis, greatest band of the 90s...
But yes and no...
I forgive, but I never forget...does that sound like I never really forgive?...
I become acutely aware of people who've wronged me, I'd be careful what I say about and around them... Once untrustworthy, always untrustworthy... Doesn't mean I have to keep them out of my life, just not have them in my inner circle...and that's here as well as IRL...

I am a fan of Oasis, and it was hearing them on the radio today that prompted this.
I don't know really if it means that you never forgive.

I have only one experience to draw from, and it was not easy for a long time for me to forgive
But when i did, i now don't let it dictate my life any further , i kinda have forgotten too for most part
Now , i'm not a saint, but i am in a very good place, so i guess that's what is important .wine
