A simple lesson to consider because allowing grudge to remain
in our hearts will definitely take the joy out of our lives.

i can relate to the other woman wearing white.
It's always a heavier feeling holding a grudge so just let the bad emotions live for a while and let it flow out as soon as you can. Great comics by the way. I hope I can draw like that for my blog.
Amen to that! Carrying a grudge is the best way to let that other person win. But it's actually easier said than done. I think it takes some degree of maturity to truly forgive.
Very well said... Holding a grudge is like killing yourself slowly with your own bitterness. We just have to let it go. =)
Yes. Easier said than done pero it would be best to help ourselves forgive and let go...and live more joyfully...
our retreat master once said that happiness is a choice. by holding a grudge would only make you more miserable
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.

you have a point... although i know for a fact that it takes time to forgive and let go of grudges
I won't deny that I've taken a grudge on a lot of people. But as I continue on with this kind of hatred in my heart, I slowly felt this kind of pain slowly eating me up. That's when I decided to move on. I forgave. Not entirely forgotten but I did forgive them.
this should be my mantra...bec i hold grudges :(
Holding a grudge doesn't really help. You're not punishing the "offender", you're just punishing yourself. ;)
Love the quotes. Sometimes, the simpler the better - Forgive and forget. :))
This is very true. The first person to benefit from your forgiveness is YOU.
I agree. Forgiving is like unloading a big rock that causes pain, so healing follows.
i've been living simply and no longer hold grudges for long.
if i get mad, i get mad now and try to fix it the same day. :o
When you learn to forgive you're spreading good Karma.
