Religon teaches most of us, if not all that forgiveness is very inportnant
Recently i was put in a situation that shall we say. got to me.
Not by any means a trivial mater, for example lets say a friend or a family member saying something in a drunken arguement.
That would not bother me i would just let it go. words really are cheap.
But as i get older i am finding more and more difficult to forgive.
i have not spoken to one of my brothers in seven years
Over a financial mater, He refused to help when i was in serious financial difficulties even though i had helped him numerous times Financially previously. This i found unforgivable as he more then had the means to help at the time.
My Wife and kids say i am stubborn and pig headed sometimes. this may well be true on occasion.
But to me forgiveness in certian situations is weakness.
I watch a lot of real life crimes shows and i am always taken aback when you see the parants or partner of a murder victim say they forgive there killer.

So what do you guys think is forgiveness the key to moving on or just weakness of will.
