Do you hold on to resentment?

I'm easy to forgive and forget it is just I don't want some heavy loads in my heart and in my mind. But there are things that you really can't go and sometimes regret the past. But it is only things that I can have also if I will do my best to have it. In other side of my mind I can't hold on to the past that's why I must move on.

No, I don't hold on to resentment. Life is too short to spend it holding grudges. I forgive others. I think it is much better to just let stuff go.

I think you are talking about me here. It is hard to let go. Especially when there is injustice involved. And if it has to do with my children. I have alot of resentment for my ex as he caused alot of problems. I think it all really comes back to whether I feel there has been an injustice or not.

Yes, its really hard to let go sometimes. I think in some way I hold on to resentments because those are the reasons why I'm not complete. Its hard to forget but there's nothing we can do but to move on with our daily lives and conquer our fears.

I also find it hard to let go of things. But its not that I cant forgive, maybe its just not easy to forget. I do have a lot of resentment with my life and sometimes I do wish to turn back time, but of course that's impossible.

I've learned in my life its a lot better to forgive and let go, i use to be one of those people that held on to resentment and it only cause a lot of added stress in my life...once i learned to forgive i started to feel a lot better inside and out..i could actually sleep better at night too, so now I've learned to forgive people for the wrong they do and how it get's better for them..

If I were to hold on to every hurt I have experienced in my life, I would be a very bitter and sad person. I have learned to let go and understand situations as they presented themselves to me. I have also learned to forgive people even if they have hurt and scarred me for life. But I don't want to dwell in the pain. Life is too short that it is a waste of time to devote your energy on things that you have no control of. You cannot control other people. But you can control yourself and how you feel.

Hi there Bj, Yes, I do forgive those that have done me wrong. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time but yes, I do. And yes, I do get beyond resentments. Its always my goal to forgive and rise above or let go. I don't forget always but I can't hold on to anger...hurts too much to. If you hold on to that anger then eventually you become an angry, bitter person yourself and people are going to be angry back at you and you are just spreading anger and bitterness. Spreading love is a much better way of life, don't you think?

I do agree that there are people who do hold on to resentment and grudge for a very long time, we can see this often in family disputes. I personally try my best to do away with this as it is hard to live life this way, i would rather just forgive and forget and move on with life.

Even if i am angry over a situation I try not to hold on to the resentment. Life is much too short and much too precious to let bitterness take control of life. There is too much to enjoy in this world without letting resentment build up inside. Even if you think you are wronged, it feels good to just let go.

With resentment or bad stuffs, i will ask myself: holding on it for what? and the answer is for nothing, so that i let it go...and forget it as fast as i can. Our life is short so that i really don't want bad stuffs get my life time...
