I'm good at holding grudges. I have grudges that have stuck with me from 3rd grade, maybe earlier. I'm pretty much an elephant when it comes to the ill treatment of myself. I just don't forget it.
Maybe someday I'll that bigger person and forgive those who never asked for forgiveness in the first place. Maybe I'll learn to forget the wrongs others have committed. Maybe I'll become the most forgiving person in the world!
I really do doubt that. For some reason it is hard for me to forgive those that don't even feel sorry for what they did to me and others that I care about. I find the idea of letting those people off the hook repugnant.
I guess, as always, I'm a work in progress. I'm thinking that finding oneself lacking in one department or the another is the first step to improvement . . . well . . . the second, after self pity and doubt over being so disappointed in one's shortcomings. Or one just gives up entirely . . . I might be screwed then.
