Holding grudges only causes harm from "summary" of Dare to Forgive by Edward M. Hallowell

Holding grudges only causes harm. When we hold onto grudges, we end up hurting ourselves more than the person we are angry at. The negative emotions that come with holding onto grudges can have a serious impact on our mental and physical health. The anger and resentment that come with holding onto grudges can lead to increased stress levels, which can in turn lead to a whole host of health problems. From high blood pressure to heart disease, the effects of holding onto grudges can be far-reaching. Not only does holding onto grudges harm us physically, but it can also have a negative impact on our relationships. When we hold grudges, we are unable to fully engage with the people around us. Our anger and resentment can create barriers between us and those we care about, ultimately causing more harm than good. In addition to the physical and relational harm that holding grudges can cause, it can also prevent us from moving forward in our own lives. When we hold onto past grievances, we are unable to fully embrace the present moment. We become stuck in a cycle of anger and resentment that prevents us from growing and evolving as individuals.
  1. Holding grudges only serves to hold us back. It keeps us stuck in a negative cycle of anger and resentment that prevents us from living a full and fulfilling life. In order to truly move forward, we must learn to let go of our grudges and forgive those who have wronged us. By doing so, we can free ourselves from the burden of anger and resentment and embrace a happier and healthier future.
