It was something I heard but it wasn't until I grew up a bit that I realized the truth of it. The negative qualities of anger, jealousy, resentment, and hatred all have physical impacts on the body. It harms the body.<br /><br />Personally, I'm not one to hold grudges or hold on to anger and resentments. I deal with the emotions (the anger is tougher) and let them go. Sometimes the other person has no idea that they've even hurt or offended you and, of course, we offend and hurt without knowing, too. <br /><br />Those who deliberately choose to use, hurt, or take advantage of another are out there. They tend to take delight in what they wrought in you or your life. I refuse to give them that power over me. I can't control them but I can control me.<br /><br />I'm glad that when you let go, you got a blessing. For all you do, you deserve one. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-56293365543199590972011-08-25T22:31:37.370-04:002011-08-25T22:31:37.370-04:00Thank you for sharing your thoughts about anger an...Thank you for sharing your thoughts about anger and forgiveness. <br /><br />In my family, we didn't voice anger. I guess when you receive a Catholic upbringing, it is instilled in you that forgiveness is the only acceptable path.<br /><br />A friend and I parted ways a while back and recently drifted back into an easy friendship. One day she voiced surprise that everyone didn't deal with disagreements the same way. Forgive, forget, move on. <br /><br />I am sorry that someone felt they had a right to use you for their own gains, but I am pleased to hear that you dealt with the situation in a manner that ultimately was of benefit to you!Gail M Baugniet - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543343067963247963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-61973598505533934862011-08-25T17:01:14.940-04:002011-08-25T17:01:14.940-04:00Lovely.

But when we truly forgive, when we remember what happened it no longer hurts or causes us to feel angry. We do family seminars with Family Foundations International and we see this kind of miracle of forgiveness taking place right before our eyes for many of the participants. And of course we have many of our own amazing stories of the results of forgiveness in our own lives.Sharon Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315316958986428740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-24845962967557266832011-08-25T14:46:18.553-04:002011-08-25T14:46:18.553-04:00Lynn, you said it better than I did!

Without forgiveness of others and/or oneself, we chain ourselves in a prison of anger, resentment, and self-loathing. I know God never intended for us to live that way. Believing in the cross means we believe in His forgiveness too. Gosh, I know it is hard to forgive but, as you say, feeling lighter lets us be who free on who we are meant to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-67195515490474886702011-08-25T09:01:34.021-04:002011-08-25T09:01:34.021-04:00Karen, my husband says I'm the master of blunt...Karen, my husband says I'm the master of blunt, so I know how you feel.L.
