Aspire to be strong

I've always been one to hold a grudge when someone wronged me.  I always thought it was the tough way to be a man.  Today, for no particular reason I decided it was not the way to go.  I decided today that forgiveness is strength.  It may not seem like it but it's true.  To let someone have the power to make me angry and tense when I see them or hear their name is pure weakness. The power should belong to me.  It is so easy to hold a grudge, to stay angry.  It's much more difficult to forgive.  I think it is going to be worth the effort. I only hope that those that I have wronged will aspire to be strong as well.
