I found an article by the Mayo Clinic called: “Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges and bitterness” that spoke about the pros and cons of forgiveness, now that intrigued me because I never thought of the benefits of forgiveness other than a chip off your shoulder, but when I started reading it, it all made sense. There are physical, mental and emotional benefits and consequences when forgiving and not forgiving someone. This is a multi-part series that will speak on the pros and cons of forgiveness. This episode, I will speak about a few cons of not forgiving someone...
