The positive cycle of forgiveness

Be honest to urself(atleast while reading this article.r else no point to continue reading). Do you hold grudges? Do you allow old drama to determine your behavior? Is there someone you just can't seem to forgive? Grudges and a non-forgiving attitude do nothing but harm both parties. You might feel like you're "winning" by not letting someone off the hook, but you're only increasing your own worry and stress. Bitterness can lead to hate, which can sour a life. Today, write a letter explaining your point of view to the person you resent. Clear the air; offer forgiveness. Even if you don't send it, it is an excellent way to relieve tension. Forgiving someone does not absolve him or her of the wrong that you experienced. It can simply free you to live a life that isn't anchored to the hurt and resentment of past events.
