To put it succinctly, I have a very hard time letting things go and I hold grudges...for a very long time.
It's simply my nature. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my astrological sign or not...I'm not even sure if I believe in that sort of thing or not, but it has always been hard for me to simply forgive and forget. I rarely forgive and I never forget.
Granted, this is in reference to somebody that has committed a major transgression against me....a betrayal of trust, fairly ill treatment, or just a general "fuck over".
Minor transgressions can be sluffed off without much effort. After all, nobody is perfect and things happen from time to time. It's to be expected. That's life. A major transgression, however, cannot and will not simply be brushed off.
I am not a perfect person, but I tend to go out of my way to try and treat people the way I would want to be treated. If it happens that I do offend somebody in some way, I acknowledge it, and give my apologies. You see, THIS is the way I was brought up to treat people and THIS is the way that I expect to be treated.
Though it's not ideal, an apology from a person that has seriously wronged me in some way will at least give me cause to try and forgive. I will never forget, but at least I can try to move on with them in a fairly civil fashion.
Somebody that has seriously hurt/wronged me, who does not apologize or at least acknowledge their actions/behavior will, guaranteed be effectively dead to me. It sounds cold, but they could die tomorrow and I wouldn't shed one fucking tear for them. They are simply not a person anymore. They do not exist.
Granted, misunderstandings happen all the time and I get that, but there is a difference between a misunderstanding, and somebody that fucks you over and thinks nothing of it.
Fuck them. People that do shit like that need not to breed. The world will be better off.
