Holding grudges is something I have struggled with my whole life. I've never been a drama queen about it, I just know when I've been hurt and sometimes I have a hard time forgiving people that have hurt me, especially when they act like they don't even know what they've done or that their actions are hurtful. But the wisdom in today's "Food for Thought" is that holding a grudge hurts no one but myself in the end. "...like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." It's not loving myself to be angry and to let those feelings fester. That's not to say that I should pretend everything is okay and continue to let that person be in a position to hurt me, no! But being angry doesn't solve anything. Instead, I need to learn from the situation and apply it to my future interactions. I need to distance myself from a poor situation and hurtful relationships, but be forgiving as well.
