HeartQuote: Forgiveness

In the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be
forgiven. You're not forgiving them for their sake. You're doing it for
yourself. For your own health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the
most energy-efficient option. It frees you from the incredibly toxic,
debilitating drain of holding a grudge. Don't let these people live rent
free in your head. If they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year
after year in your mind? It's not worth it but it takes heart effort to
stop it. You can muster that heart power to forgive them as a way of
looking out for yourself. It's one thing you can be totally selfish about.
