Do you hold grudges?

I try not to hold grudges. It's something that I really like to do. However, there are times when I find it difficult to just let things go, and forget about it. There are things that really annoy me.

I used to do it before but now I try to be more patient with it and rather try to find a way to ventilate and let it all come out of my system because holding grudges or other forms of antipathies could also contribute to the development of certain heart diseases, it can also aggravate stress which is not good for our health.

i agree with a mylotter here. it really takes a lot of energy to hold grudge on someone. i'd say i won't ever have any of those, perhaps. i think i would just be angered for a time but i will probably never hold grudges.

naw, it takes way too much energy to hold a grudge for something someone did.

I sometimes hold grudges and I don't feel guilty about that. However, the reasons which make me hold grudges have nothing to do with ruining a day. I can forget a bad day easily. The reasons I am talking about have more to do with ruining my life. My parents took some decisions in their lives which impacted me ferociously and now there is no way to undo any of them. What really bothers me is that it takes them several years to realize that their bad decisions cause problems for someone else. They seem to be more comfortable with "I'll do this bad thing now and then later I'll just leave a sorry note and that is all going to take care of everything". Yes, in a family, one needs to compromise to maintain peace. But this does not mean others should see it as something to be manipulated.

Yes, I do hold a grudge but I don't think about it that much. I'm still human but not a good person. :D I think it's natural. That person may ruin your day but don't let it affect you that much.
