We are all prone to brood on the evil done us. That brooding becomes as a gnawing and destructive canker. Is there a virtue more in need of application in our time than the virtue of forgiving and forgetting? There are those who would look upon this as a sign of weakness. Is it? I submit that it takes neither strength nor intelligence to brood in anger over wrongs suffered, to go through life with a spirit of vindictiveness, to dissipate oneโs abilities in planning retribution. There is no peace in the nursing of a grudge. There is no happiness in living for the day when you can โget even.
Gordon B. HinckleyDo you feel gloomy? Lift your eyes. Stand on your feet. Say a few words of appreciation and love to the Lord. Be positive.
Gordon B. HinckleyWe must work harder to build mutual respect, an attitude of tolerance, with forbearance one for another.
