And the people that should have done something but didn't never asked to be forgiven either. So there is that. No, I don't think my unforgivening nature has done any damage. It's not like I am constantly in a state of rage. I just don't see the point of saying that the people who have done heinous things to me are off the hook. They aren't whether I grant them absolution or not.
