The weight of anger

I've been pissed off at an old friend for almost a year now and carried around a grudge that seemed to be all consuming. Tofurther complicate issues this friend is also a family member. I wasn't wrong in my anger, actually I was quite justified at the time, but I carried it too far. There's a point in time where one has to let go of the anger and move on. Hard feelings and bitterness do more harm to one's soul than any other emotions. I carried a grudge over what now seems like nothing. Time and a fresh perspective can often do that.

I buried the hatchet and feel quite a bit better. I chose to let go of my anger and put events of the past in the past, where they belong.
