we often carry the burden of our past and if we are not aware of this, the past will weigh us down. without a regular practice of releasing, we develop a backlog of unprocessed emotions and mental clutter.

forgiveness allows you to move on without harboring anger or the desire of seeking revenge.

as Confucius said about revenge, "before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." even if you do not actively seek revenge, holding onto your anger brings you down.
