People do bad things to you. True. But the bigger truth is that you do even worse by not forgiving these people. When people ditch you, two-time you, it hurts- after all we are all human. And it is more human to nurse a bad feeling for the person. The problem lies in the fact that by nursing a bitter feeling for that person you are making yourself a victim & a culprit at the same time. You are haunted by the bitter incident or by foul words that he spoke against you. And you carry these monkeys on your chest, day in & day out. The only way to get rid of this anathema is to forgive. Many a times, even after forgiving it will haunt you. That is because you have not forgiven him in letter & spirit. Not only forgive but also forget that such incident ever took place. I know it sounds impractical, but believe me this is the only way to get that monkey off your chest.
