It's a common joke that people can't remember their grandchild's birthday, but they can remember every detail of a grudge that they're holding. This idea has some truth, as studies have shown that people are more likely to remember negative experiences than positive ones. Additionally, harboring resentment can take a toll on our physical and mental health.
So why do we find it so difficult to forgive and forget? One reason may be that forgiveness requires us to let go of our anger and sense of justice. Forgiveness also means admitting that we were wrong, which can blow our ego.
However, holding onto a grudge ultimately does more harm than good. Learning to forgive can help us move on from the past and live healthier, happier lives.
