Have you noticed how long people hold grudges for ?

People sure do seem to hold grudges a long time. Why do you think this is ?

Pride maybe ? Constant seeking of "justice" (the clean word for revenge)


What reasons ?

Lack of forgiveness and mercy.

The depth of forgiveness demonstrates the depth of love.

Humanity are in deep water like a crab about to be cooked because they did not show mercy like he asked you too. Best you go that extra mile and become merciful before it is too late to change course. You have until the 22nd July then the heat goes on.

Justice and a grudge are two seperate things. Justice has broad moral implication while a grudge is highly personal and is a result of pain, humiliation, or lack of control over another person's actions. Grudges eat away at the holder becoming obsessions and corrosive in their relentlessness. Born of frustration and impotent anger a grudge must be feed, nurtured and it feeds on the host for want of resolution. Even if you manage to exact revenge that provides only temporary respite. Grudges are a poison that result in a kind of death.

How could you possibly know this and still be "alive?"

You cannot hope to taint the sanctity of moral righteous indignation with this nonsense.

If a man hurts another man through sincere error, then there is leeway for forgiveness, empowered by that man's active penitence.

If that same man continues to hurt, maliciously, devoid of remorse, or reason, or justification, he is not a man and therefore cannot be forgiven.

Obviously you don't see the distinction between justice and a grudge. The word justice is used in the context of a grudge as justification for revenge. A grudge can be a real or perceived slight and is highly subjective.
If for example, a heinous crime has been committed then justice is certainly called for. However, a disagreement between family or friends over a crock pot can hardly be compared in gravity or long term consequences except when fostering said grudge results in harm to the holder of the grudge. For example, in my own family my sister and her daughter are embroiled in a grudge match.

Both women feel complete justified creating havoc for the rest of the family as well based on their hurt feelings. We have to be careful for instance to keep them separate at functions or invite only one and risk further injury. The bottom line here in this case is that both women are torn up about this, but can't seem to stop this emotional train wreck. If you would ask them why/how their relationship has come to this neither could give a clear example of one distinct incidence that led to this. My sister has even become near suicidal about this division in her family. How is this beneficial?

I kinda remember Yahushua talking about if you don't forgive others their sins, your Father in Heaven wont forgive your sins!

Remember to forgive others seven times seven-through the seven chacras and through the seven Heavens that God has created.

No communion hath light with darkness.

The Messiah came to set the two in opposition, so that when the time comes neither will be confused with the other.

Revenge is 100% of the time a mistake. Revenge or even revenge thoughts keeps you mentally tied to the person you have a grudge against.

The best way to get revenge is NOT to seek it in the first place. Living well is the best revenge, and you WILL live better when you practice kindness and forgive everyone for everything, real or imagined, they have ever done or not done. It is very simple but not so easy to do.

If you fail to forgive you will simply get more opportunities in the future to forgive. That is the way the universe works.

It's quite hilarious knowing that the only time wicked people wax lyrical about love, peace and forgiveness, is when they feel threatened.

Some grudges are worth holding.

People sure do seem to hold grudges a long time. Why do you think this is ?

Pride maybe ? Constant seeking of "justice" (the clean word for revenge)


What reasons ?


The ego's desire to Be Right.

I am the Queen of grudges. I swear to GOD, one grudge I've been holding onto since kindergarten.

Depends on ho you're dealing with.

Lunatics and sociopaths can only be hurt PHYSICALLY.

Some grudges are worth holding.

Yes. There are things that just cannot be forgiven. And the reason is this: the harm that was done has changed the victim so that he/she is no longer the same person as when the crime took place. Since the victim no longer exists as they were, there is no one left to offer forgiveness. If you forgive the unforgivable, you dishonor yourself.

It is possible that this principle could sever a person from practically all of humanity. Unfortunately, that would not change the cold fact.

I've held a grudge for 20 years, 2 weeks, 1 hour 55 minutes and counting.

I should forgive, but I sure as hell won't forget!
