(1,773 posts)It's just a shitty way to have to go through your day, and this administration and its apologists/supporters/drooling sycophants have certainly given me more shitty days than I care to recall.
The problem with not eventually forgiving to at least some extent is that I have nothing to do with the residual anger it produces except to internalize it. Then it becomes an ugly gift that keeps on giving as all that internalized anger eventually either resurfaces and causes me to lash out at people I don't mean to direct my anger at, or remains buried in an emotional pit inside my psyche causing depression.
I think I'll just choose to forget. For me, forgetting entails some level of forgiveness, at least to the extent that I will no longer allow these toxic people and their pathological obsessions and hatreds to rent space inside my cabeza. Let them go their way, and I'll go mine, and, hopefully, never the twain shall meet.
