Agreed.

Sometimes, not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other to die. This is bs. This is passively holding a grude and forgiveness only helps you pass away the feeling. Leaving you open to 1) not learn how to deal with the situation and 2) setting yourself up for it happening again.

Strength is needed to be assertive and hold others accountable. Even more so, when doing it in a respectful manner.
