I don’t hold grudges. People ask my why I apologize for things that aren’t my fault, or why I forgive those who “don’t deserve to be forgiven”. Should I be without any friends because no one lives up to my standards? Or should it be because no one is as great and perfect as I?
Holding grudges is all a matter of ego. To hold a grudge is to think that you are better in some way than the person the grudge is against. Yes, in that particular matter, you might’ve done something better than them; you might’ve even taken the fall for something they did. But honestly, everyone has done something to warrant another person being upset with them. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t like someone ignoring them or bringing up a past mistake of their’s, and anyone would prefer for it not to be done to them, but then they go and do it to someone else. People are hypocrites. I don’t want to be one of those hypocrites, so I don’t hold grudges, no matter what happened to upset me. I’d rather have imperfect friends than none at all.
