Why Do People Hold Grudges

Everyone holds grudges. The question is Why?  According to the Internet, the main 2 reasons why people hold grudges are because they feel have been wronged or because they feel someone is better than them and are jealous or envious of them.

Holding grudges is not good for one's mental health. It is not good for my mental health. I begin to question and second guess myself. I get angry, mad at the world and myself. Which leads to depression and can take a while to recover.

Yet some people excel at holding grudges and don't care how many people they hurt as a result. One of these people is the leader of the free world. The Orange menace, the horses ass. Where do I start? I will give you a few examples.

Because Canada my country won't sign the free trade agreement he slaps exhorbident tariffs on the steel and alumininum on us. Why out of spite? We didn't bow down to him.

Because 30+ years ago he owned a football team in the rival USFL and as a result the NFL would not consider him as an owner. He counters by stating that everyone who kneels or sits for the national anthem is disrespecting the country and flag. Totally ignoring the real reason this movement started in the first place.

This past weekend a great American, statesman died (John McCain) and because he was a true politician and voted with his conscience and voted against repelling Obamacare and actually was the deciding vote. The orange menace refused to lower the flags to half staff for more than a day and did not offer a formal White House statement about John McCain.  I am appalled at how petty and juvenile his behaviour is, what are we in grade school? He is not fit for the White House.

People who hold grudges lack self esteem and confidence. They have to put other people down in order to raise themselves up. The people who are put down may stay down for a long time and develop mental health issues as a result and that is sad. There is no need for anyone to hold grudges at any time for any reason.

In the words of Rodney King " Why can't we all get along".
