What good is it to hold a grudge? Are they well deserved? Yes, most of the time they are. For instance when someone else takes someone very dear to you away. Or when someone causes you great physical or emotional harm. So yes those are instances when grudges are well deserved. But what do purpose does a grudge serve in our lives? Doesn't a grudge just foster hate in our hearts? Doesn't it turn us bitter? Although forgiveness is all too often something that seems almost impossible to do, it is often necessary and also healing to our hearts. But my question is, how long do we hold a grudge? And is it fair to hold a grudge without telling the other person about it? Even further is is fair to start or continue a relationship, or even get married while carrying a grudge against someone without their knowledge of it? Shouldn't we have to lay all of our cards on the table before committing our lives to someone?
