Why Do People Hold On To Grudge(s)? by priscaoge(f): 4:21pm On Sep 08, 2014
I just want to have Ur views on this. Why do
people hold on to or continue to harbour this ill feelings when there's nothing to gain from it? I know I am extremely emotional so I sometimes take things to heart and but seriously I can't stand bearing grudges against someone, it keeps me uncomfortable anytime I remember that am not in talking terms with d person. It seems to me holding a grudge is more like to hate which takes energy and emotions,or as somewhere U are burying feelings or holding some energy and it prevents U frm really moving on. So my question is what do u think that actually make people to hold on to grudges for a long time??

I think its an accumulation of little "wrongs" committed by the person in question.

When their "CUP IS FULL", matters would escalate.

Then the 'COLD TREATMENT" begins.

I used to hold grudges a lot as a teenager...and the reasons where
- Pride: I don't like to apologise first. Makes me feel less...

-Unforgiving spirit: I had to do prayer and fasting to change this, I don't forgive easily then, even when I forgive - I won't forget...so I will keep reminding the person of his/her f**k up @ the slightest provocation.

-Revenge: I love revenge grin. Do Me-I do you...for this reason, I find it difficult to apologise and forgive, bc I would wanna hold the grudge, it would enable me carry out my revenge perfectly tongue

I lost relationships and friends, though they all stuck around, after they understood it was ma person...
One day my elder bro bought me a book on anger management and co, I read it...prayed and it changed a lot.

Let me solve the puzzle in a man's way grin .It's natural if you bare grudges,not because you were born with it but for the fact that you are not exposed to anti-grudge activities such as recreation,relaxation,even laughter classes.It's not bad to bare grudges but it is bad to make it affect your relationship with the person(be diplomatic).
So,next time you feel you are bearing grudges that you feel you can't just do away with,don't kill yourself in trying to do away with it,just be diplomatic and never try to let it affect your relationship with the person.Just always keep faith and pray,maybe one day,the grudges will go and never to return. smiley

Very simple! Whenever you both come face to face and need to talk to one another,feign a smile on your face in order not to make the person feel dejected(depending on how gruesome and bad ) the offense is.The real test comes when you are asked a favor which is very easy and convenient for you to do. E.g. Help me pass that cup, help me bring my child home when you go to school to pick yours.

These are actually very hard things to do expectially if the offense is very gruesome but I think 'to those WILLING,injury does not become.' smiley

Re: Why Do People Hold On To Grudge(s)? by scosco1: 11:19pm On Sep 08, 2014
Keeping Grudge could be as a result of deep hurt and offence someone did against us intentionally or without knowing . It diminishes our joy aπϑ inhibits our relationship with others . We keep grudge because we choose not to overlook ,ignore the wrong the other person did against us . Letting go frees us . G-d commands, "You shall not hate your brother in your heart..." (Lev. 19:17)

To understand this crucial idea, let's look at the commandments which immediately follow it:

You shall rebuke your fellow
You shall not bear a sin because of him
You shall not take revenge
You shall not bear a grudge
You shall love your fellow as yourself.

Whom do we rebuke?
- The fellow who is doing wrong YET IS WISE ENOUGH to accept rebuke. We do not rebuke scoffers (Proverbs 9:cool.

How do we rebuke?
- Privately! We must not humiliate our fellows. ( "this is the meaning of "You shall not bear a sin because of him."wink
- Gently! Or the rebuke will not be heard.

What is revenge?
- Reuben asks Simon if he can borrow a hatchet. Simon says, "No."
- The next day Simon asks Reuben if he can borrow a sickle. Reuben says, "No, because you would not lend to me."

What is a grudge?
- Reuben asks Simon if he can borrow a hatchet. Simon says, "No."
- The next day Simon asks Reuben if he can borrow a sickle. Reuben says, "Yes, because I am not like you."

How do I love my fellow as myself?
- this is the fundamental rule of the G-d's word
- If we were unknowingly doing wrong, we'd want to be told, yet it is so hard for any of us to hear criticism.
- Great indeed is the person who can give rebuke so gentle that another person will hear it.
