Forgive and Forget
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
-Alexander Pope
We all make mistakes. We all do or say something stupid and after it's out there in the Universe we can't take it back. All we can do is say we're sorry and hope that the people we hurt as we plow our way through life will forgive us.
Sometimes people hurt us. We can't live our life on grudges and fuel ourselves with anger. If this is the case we will surely be lonely people forever because at some point everyone you know will do something to hurt you and if you hold that against them you'll be friendless and alone for as long as you live.
Occasionally we may forgive someone for whatever crime they committed against us, but do we forget it and move on? Not always. That's the most important part, we have to forget all the stupid crap or it will blacken our hearts and cause them to harden with time. We have to have our erasers at the ready to wipe the slate clean every time. Of course it wouldn't be healthy if we never got mad at people for the mean or hurtful things they do to us, then we are merely doormats for people to walk all over. But we must always remember to let things go.
Ahh a lesson I've only recently come to understand clearly.

Hehe, I'm still trying to learn that lesson. Sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on it though-- props for that.
