Agape at its best (?)
This may be a little hypocritical seeing as I haven’t spoken to my parents for 3 years but people are a long time dead – maybe its worth sorting things first?!
I don’t think so, You´ll be in love before she is dead, and you don’t even remember her.
so true. but why bother then? the anger is so energizing.
I saw more than one nervous face in the office this afternoon
Forgive now. Holding onto it only hurts one person… you.
viva la second chance!
Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting them to die.
Dude I’d so love to know the back story on this one… Who was she? What the hell did she do to screw you over so bad???
I feel the same way–but agree with Stephanie’s comment. So I forgive for my own sake.
Holy cannoli. Like Christian said: backstory!
This is exactly how I feel. At one time I feel I could have killed for someone, the emotion was so high, now those feelings have been forced to turn back in on themselves through no fault of my own, and I detest having to live with them. People forget so easily how much inherent aggression men have within that affects everything we do which we feel is of any importance. It is debilitating and energising in equal measure. I live with this very feeling, it doesn’t mean to say i enjoy it.
I’m in the camp of letting it go for one’s own good.
This kind of anger feels energizing, but that’s its worst deception — it is actually destructive.
Perhaps try yoga, walking, and/or a breathing meditation? All of this helps to get the anger out of our systems and creates real energy.

Stefanie, what absolute brilliance! Thank you.
Nah, don’t think so. Some people aren’t worth forgiving.
She has the longevity gene. Is there a razorblade shop close by?
No explanation needed although I think it’s time to have some bodacious Texas women change your mind at SXSW.
“Ernie” here. I feel exactly the same way, it all ended in agony.
