Hello!

Totally agree. Forgiving really helps the person forgiving more than anyone else.

But I reckon anger is a valid and necessary emotion (there to show us we need to act - usually to protect ourselves).

But holding onto anger = resentment has been linked to depression. Interesting, huh?

And I think this also manifests physically in physical illnesses. Like cancer etc.

As far as forgetting. I strongly disagree :)

If someone has intentionally been harmful it would be somewhat foolish to "forget". And in my experience repressing memories and emotions lead to mental health and addiction problems.

Thanks for saying hello and opening up the conversation. I'd love to hear more from you!
