Get angry ..... rant and rave ..... sulk for a bit ... then let be ..

Hiya Susie!  I have to say, I agree with you.

I think a lot of times, when we hold a grudge, the one we are holding a grudge against is just going about their life, not even thinking about it, so why give them that power?

What?  And let them get away with it?  Much much better to keep their shitty behavior alive in the rounds of talks and friends so any one you know that might meet them in the future will know what a shit they can be.   ;D ;D

Don't be so hard on yourself Jess, it isn't bad Karma nor does it lower you to their level to expect nor enjoy the fact that they will get what's coming to them.  YOU did nothing wrong.

Holding on to grudges and hate only hurts you.
My Granny used to say that hate only destroys the vessel that carrys it!

Sure, if you let it eat you up.  If you can control it - like you do love (remembering an old love takes no more energy than remembering an old someone who hurt you). - then it's no problem whatsoever.

No matter how many old wives say otherwise.  ;)
