Some people go through life being bitter and unhappy. They've become so bitter to the point that letting go of a previous hurt is absolutely impossible for them, some believe that they've forgiven the other party but never cease to make reference to them at any given opportunity or use them as their prayer point. They unknowingly extends the bitterness to others Transfer of aggression. Holding on to pain of being hurt by someone only give birth to resentment, mess up your emotions and gradually affect your health. Holding grudges or bitterness puts you in a self confined prison, it has never made anyone free. It robs you of your happiness, puts anger in you and makes you unhappy.
Therefore, refuse to harbour resentment. Learn to forgive others that hurt you, live a happy and exciting life because you can only get one chance at it. Set yourself free from all bondage you put yourself in, if someone hurt you, let them know they do and let it go instantly. Offences will surely come because we're humans, people will get you angry, provoke you but never allow anger speak for you. Make peace with any one you're holding grudges with, let go of negative emotions, live above bitterness.
