In the “Star Wars” series Yoda said: “fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; and hate leads to suffering.”
Yoda didn’t mention who would do the suffering. Hate is like battery acid, it corrodes the container in which it is held. People who hold hate are being corroded by that hate. In the while the hated object is untouched. It is not intelligent to hate others, it is bad for you. So the path out is forgiveness. Forgive those you feel have done you wrong, and live in peace. You will be glad you did. Forgiveness is for the forgiver, it brings a closure to past hurts and lets you get on with your life.
