"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves." - Mitch Albom
I'm tired of grudges. I'm tired of pretending I could care less friendships are diminishing. I'm tired of remembering I can't talk to you because we're "fighting". I'm tired of acting like my feelings are completely in tact. I'm tired of pride. I'm tired of being stubborn. I'm tired.
There is no point in holding grudges. Both sides can go on for days, months, years, not talking just because no one is willing to step down off his or her pedestal and say something.
Sure, a person can truly feel so infuriated that he or she feels as if he or she never wants to talk to the person on the other side ever again. But we, as people, get over it. It may not be a day, a month, or even a year, but it happens. We all make mistakes and we should forgive each other. Forgiveness is the key to happiness even if they do the unforgivable. This doesn't mean forget everything and act like everything is jolly ol' good in LaLaLand, but start to fixing the slightly bruised, or in some cases broken, relationships.
Hating or disliking someone is pointless. It doesnt bring any good emotions. It is a full-time commitment to hate someone; a waste of time.
We as people tend to take each other for granted. Who knows who is going to be here tomorrow and who is not? We should tell each other what we feel now. We need to live in the present, not the past and not the future.
"Only love can conquer hate."
