Just wanted to know what that decision is and how different would your life be if you didnt do that. I find this an interesting question to ask people. ---

The most important decision I’ve ever made was forgiving someone close to me who had done something really hurtful. I realized a few years after, that I held a lot of resentment towards this person and that I was the one paying the price emotionally, and even in some ways, physically. When I decided to let go of my ego and finally forgive that person, my life flipped 180 degrees. There’s a really good quote, and I can’t remember who said it, but it goes “Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and hoping for them to die.” I believe this 100%, and I also believe that forgiveness is such a strong antidote to many of the emotional and even physical problems that people have today. ---

> [@Evan\_Nagao](#): > > it goes “Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and hoping for them to die.” Yes! Very true! Usually formulated as > “Resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die.” [https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/08/19/resentment/](https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/08/19/resentment/) ---
