High Price

Being right, keeping others in the wrong, holding onto grudges, can pay a high price in your own emotional stability or lack thereof.  If you become angry in your being right, or fill up with resentment, revenge, fear, you are torturing yourself on the insides.  Moreover, it does not seem to change anything outside of yourself.  What if you were to forgive, accept, or even love?  You might be much less tortured inside your own emotional sphere.  You might set yourself free to use your energy in more useful places.  All that previous negativity did little for outside change.  Forgiveness can do a lot for inside change.  Why try to fix others while breaking down yourself?
