I went to a reunion and we relived the meanness we had in high school from some people. One of us tried to explain that another's life must be filled with a lot of pain to be so cruel and another chided her . "No, she is just mean, no excuses."
Is there value in forgiveness? Imagine a virtual garbage bag that you carry around with you and collect all your bad feelings and grievances. It would soon be huge and you would be carrying it around on your shoulder. Who is being punished? You ! You with your giant trash bag. All the people who committed slights against you don't care in the least that you are put out. Why carry around other people's trash?
