"The reason for forgiving your enemies is not forÂ theirÂ benefit but forÂ your ownÂ benefit. Holding grudges against other people doesnâ€™t hurt them; doesnâ€™t even bother them much - in fact, even pleases them if they are still mad at you. It is not in your enlightened self-interest to hold grudges, regardless of whether it bothers the person you hate or not."

-- Brad Blanton
