Do you forgive or do you hold a grudge?

I've burned a few bridges in my lifetime too Amanda. And I ALWAYS end up regretting it later.

I almost never forgive and why?
The people who have hurt me and/ormine the majority of the time have done nothing to deserve my forgiveness. They're almost never sorry for what they've done to hurt me, most never apologize or show any compassion for my pain or remorse.
So why do they deserve my forgiveness?
I understand sometimes why people do what they do, but if they're adults - and they almost always are - they are in complete control of their lives and actions, so that makes what hurt they cause and their blithe attitude about it even more despicable.

yes, that is what chaps me about forgiveness...all the aggressor has to do is say "Hey sorry about that" and they skip off scot free....while the victim is left to pick up the pieces...(AND gets hassles from people telling them they need to forgive "do it for yourself')
bah humbug!
