Worth noting that holding a grudge and holding someone accountable are not the same thing, you can do one without the other.
Tell that to the people who demand others forgive.
Of course, that's assuming there's something wrong with holding a grudge, which of course there isn't.
There is definitely something wrong when people who demand forgiveness purposefully equivocate the two so they can accuse victims, when they're at their most vulnerable, of holding a grudge when they call out everyone else for refusing to hold bullies or abusers or whatever accountable for their actions.
That's all their silly rhetoric is about. If you were abused and you are angry or sad about it and want whoever hurt you punished, you're the one doing something wrong, because it is not actions that they care about -- actions are, of course, expected to be forgiven -- but reactions are, because people who reject the paradigm are a threat to their little rape culture.
Meditate on that before you speak next time.
I don't know what to say, you seem to have made up an intricate story in your head about me, From what I can interpret in your text I'm in the side of demanding forgiveness?
You're fighting a strawman.
