Forgiveness

Jimmy

King Phenomenon
It depends. If someone raped me, or killed my kids, then I would not forgive.
Anger and bitterness would not eat me up. On the contrary, they would feed me.

Gettin fed with anger and bitterness is never good. Initially you would be that way but it would be wise to grow. But hey if you want that diet for the rest of your life go for it.

Why is it no good? This is a myth that sounds sort of noble, and everyone believes, but does not fit with reality.

I personally find hating someone sort of relaxing. Whenever I cannot sleep, I only have to think what I would do that guy I hate, and then I fall to sleep like a baby.

You should try it. It really works.

All you need is love.

Suum cuique, or better yet, "To each his or her own." What works for @viole may not work for you. While it's okay to disagree with her, it is not okay for you to judge her or even tell her she is wrong. You don't know the situation that she referred to, so you don't have the right to tell her how to handle it.

I certainly agree that despising another person is sometimes justified because some people who deeply hurt us do not deserve our forgiveness.

I gave my opinion and told her do what she wants so mind your own business. What she said is creepy.

Perhaps it doesn't matter - since we are all different, and some can live with hatred or such and not be affected - but unless one has experienced letting go of some particular thing perhaps they who don't will never know the difference between doing so and not.
