I am, I think, far too lazy to hold grudges against people or to be offended by things others say or do or to worry what others think of me. I’ve witnessed others hold grudges and be offended and the like, and it takes a lot of work and energy to do so. Choosing harmony is what I prefer. It’s just plain easier.
Harmony is the theme of this day. It is the old Roman feast of Concordia: a day for folks to reconcile their differences, to make amends, traditionally celebrated as a meal amongst family and friends, with one purpose: the settling of all disputes that cause discord. Plain and simple, no need to elaborate further. Harmony begins with each of us, and here, today with Concordia, the Romans had a simple reset button. When you’re ready to move on, do it.

Well said and reported.
What a great day! I agree grudges take too much energy.
Grudges are hard to maintain and nurture, and bring nothing positive in the end. Letting go is much easier and feels good. The word ‘harmony’ is lovely…
Smart man you are! So happy you are with our Seth! Much love!
Blessings on you, John. Keep everything simple and clean, like a fragrant new sheet of paper, waiting for its transformation, to carry wisdom and musings, a delicate line, just the right pressure. A world, unfurled. No smudge. No grudge.
