Do you hold a grudge?

mmm i like this one... great quote..

i dont generally hold grudges.. yes life is too short. But having said that, i am holding one at the moment. Im working on it.. forgiving this person for what they have done to me.. is a HUGE call.. itll come.. but not right now. Im still in angry mode, and hell bent on revenge, sad but true! Just going with the process.. working through it..

Eventually letting go of these feelings will be good for me, i know that, but staying smart so that some other asshole doesnt screw me over, means i wont ever forget!

interesting..

Holding a grudge...not so much. I usually can't remember enough to hold it against anyone.

Now then, there are some people that I will NEVER trust from past (and continued ) experience. Is that holding a grudge? I don't think so. It's being wise with who you do business with or trust with friendship, methinks.
Yes I do get angry with each new offense, but I'm kinda stuck, so again...wisdom is learning from their actions to not believe anything that comes from that particular mouth.

It's about trust. If, I can't trust 'em... got no use for 'em. No grudge.

Betsy, that's perfect. I've always said it much less eloquently... "I figure that it always ends up hurting me more to carry around the anger than it ever would hurt the other person." But I like yours much better.
