When someone hurts us in some way like divorce or violating our trust, we often refer to the event as a heart matter: "They broke my heart."
If that's true, when someone has heart-replacement surgery, do their hurts go away? Or, better yet, do they pick up the hurts of the donor?
I'm not saying that I'm a heart expert, but in my experience, the ego is what seems to hold onto the resentment. The heart pays the price for the ego more than for the actual event. People often say that they have the "right" to be angry--that's about ego.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, a gift that keeps giving. Your ego may not appreciate it, but your heart will.
