“To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.”

Confucius

Simplified Meaning:

When someone does something bad to you, it only hurts if you keep thinking about it. Imagine you fall off your bike and scrape your knee. After a few days, the scrape will start to heal. But if you keep picking at the scab, it will hurt more and take longer to heal. The same thing happens with bad memories. If you keep remembering what someone did to hurt you, the pain stays fresh and doesn't go away. Forgiving doesn’t mean you forget, but it helps you to move on and feel better. Holding onto anger and hurt makes you unhappy, while letting go can make you feel free and happier.
