This is a tough one…but I think it’s important. We should do everything in our power to forgive people we think screwed us over. Chances are they weren’t trying to hurt you directly…they were just trying to make their own lives better.
Paths will cross down the road…and you’ll be able to look them dead in the eye without drawing a line in the sand. They…on the other hand…will have a hard time looking back. Actually that kind of blows too. Life is just too damn short for that.

I agree, Andy.
“…the choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.” Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram
So true.
I agree completely and have felt the power of forgiveness in my life when I let go of a lot of resentment I held towards certain people from my past. Its really a gift you give yourself as well as the other person.
