right or happy

 
When you hold onto the past with bitterness and anger and don't allow yourself to experience the present moment, you are wasting today. If you hold onto old hurts, you punish yourself in the here and now. Often, you sit in a prison of self-righteous resentment. Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? Forgive yourself and stop punishing yourself.

MsN:
That's some pretty powerful stuff there.
I learned a while back to NOT keep punishing myself for whatever happened in the past.
It doesn't make me FORGET any of it, but I can come to terms with it a LOT better.

Life's way too short to carry that much "excess baggage" around every day (my arms get tired).

Great post.

Stay safe down there.

Happy is more important indeed.
