Do you realize remaining offended by the words or actions of another can be quite painful and terribly distracting? Why would you want to give your time, energy, and attention to keeping the pain alive?
Understand forgive them and your pain is suddenly gone for good. Forgiveness does not mean that you allow others to take advantage of you. It means you allow yourself to move positively forward.
Beginning today even if the other person doesn’t deserve it, you deserve the opportunity to leave the pain behind. Forgive, and be free. Why? Carrying a grudge adds nothing of value to the life you deserve.
