My grandfather was stern and bitter. Earlier in his life, he had owned a business with his brother, and he felt that his brother had cheated him. He often obsessed about that supposed injustice, even to me as a little girl. He wanted me to know every single detail.
Even if someone did something unspeakable to you or to someone you know, if you hold on to your anger, you are only hurting yourself.
If there’s one phrase in the English language that has both befuddled and enraged people for generations, it’s let it go. It infuriates us because despite our deep longing to do such a thing, letting go remains elusive and always seemingly out of reach.
