By holding a grudge you feel as though we are punishing the person we are angry with. But in truth you are punishing yourself, for holding a grudge consumes you emotionally. Rather than quietly sieving and plotting revenge (as did Absalom and Jacobs sons) you should use you’re energy to give those who have hurt you an opportunity to make amends.
We tend to think of followers as passive but should one by passive when following a leader?
Are you one guilty of hypocrisy if you only observe some of the Torah’s commandments? Does God demand 100% observance?
