when a person have done wrong to us, first thing we feel is anger right? depending on the level of what they have done wrong, the anger will stay long in our heart. sometimes years and forgiveness is really hard to give especially when it is not asked for. we keep this in our hearts for so long, we carry grudge and we become bitter. with all these, i just realize that you are just destroying your self. carrying grudge and becoming bitter is not healthy and is very hard. so i learn to let it go and rest it upon to God's hand. i let Him do what is best for us and everything follows. i find it easy to forgive those who have wronged us and i find life is really good after all. i like to practice this: be kind even others do not, even others cannot and evens will not.

that is why more and more are suffering from heart attacks right? we keep grudge in our heart and by doing this we just only punishing our own selves. while the people we are angry at is just relax and never care about you. thanks for sharing your thoughts.

That's true..People are the one who suffer by their being so hatred and cause their own health to be sick because of their attitudes. Once they have heart hatred,and not forgive,they became worse and worse until they do bad to others.thanks

The more they are rude or disrespectful at me, the more I am getting nicer to them. I don't hold grudges or plan to take revenges but I just make sure that someday they will realize what they are doing to me. That someday they will need my help and support. I am also a human who is vulnerable and gets hurt. I know my limitations.

Yes my friend. Killing them softly while us don't need to exert some effort. Its a waste of time. You are welcome.

I agree with you, it's the golden rule after all - treat others as you'd wish to be treated! Actually I'm not sure if I screwed that up, but it goes something like that. I try to do this, although some people in particular make it difficult when all they do is throw around negative energy. Happy MyLotting!

i can say i am a nice person. i try to help my friends in need as much as i could. but sometimes, when i see people coming to me only when they are in need. i just try to tell myself that i should learn from it and never do them a favor. i am just tired being nice sometimes when i am abused.

because we are human and has a defense mechanism, naturally we will react if someone do us wrong. learning to control ourselves will definitely help us. thanks for the response.

When someone does us wrong it is natural to be angry especially when we did not do anything to trigger such action from the other person seems unfair. But on the other hand, arguing with them would seem to be a waste of time and effort. You will only gain wrinkles and heartaches. It is not easily to let go of the hurt feeling but holding on it is never healthy. At my work, people will scold me for the things I did not do. I do get hurt by the harsh words they used. But sometimes it is good not to talk back to make the argument short. Oftentimes these kind of people will not hear whatever you are saying because their mind is clouded with anger. I have learned that once, when I tried to explain my side. I cant win with these kind of people. So if it does happen to me again. I will try to be calm and let those words pass from my one ear to the other. It really hurt when you think that you are doing all you can to help them but get repaid by those kind of attitude. But I will let God be the judge of that. Yes, be kind to others even other people do not, cannot and will not.

true enough. people like that will never listen to any explanation especially if they have close minds. we can really not win over them in this way so better not mess with them. just kill them with our kindness.

My understanding is that forgiveness has a cleansing effect on our energy field so we are free from holding a grudge and WE benefit whenever we choose to forgive. I also believe that kindness is important. One reason I like to watch Ellen DeGeneres is because at the end of each show she always says... Remember to be kind to one another.

Lots of people try to bring us down nowadays. I don't even know the reason, but it's quite common! The hard thing is controlling your emotions. A great example is high school. It's full of bullying and name-calling. Having grudges or bad emotions towards anyone eats you up from the inside. I try to avoid conflicts in every way I can. Instead, I try to socialize and make friends with lots of people. Live your life in a good way, don't waste it having grudges and bitterness towards others! Hope this helps :)
