It really should be called :"resentness"....to give up resenting, not to PARDON someone. Two completely different words.
That is so true, it should be called "resentness", lol thanks for putting it so succinctly. I am trying to 'forgive' people who attacked my character but I'm finding I need to completely remove myself from their vicinity, which was probably the point hp was trying to get me to see from the very beginning. Thanks for putting that literal definition in here; I think my definition was a little bit different than this and I am glad that I was wrong.
