Unforgiveness

I learnt about unforgiveness today. Basically, with unforgiveness, our lives is shortened, just like what C. S. Lewis puts it, its like drinking poison thinking that we're poisoning the other party.

Unforgiveness is a hidden pressure of stress, that is so often, simply waiting to burst out of our lives.

A friend explained that as long as there are any 3 of these things inside of us:
1) Resentment
2) Grudge
3) Revenge

We therefore are still in-too-deep with unforgiveness to the other party.

I also learnt that we can be spiritual, read lots of books, attend seminars on forgiveness, live life full of meditation. However, as long as we do not surrender ourselves with the fact that I do not deserve anything in this life... we will never get it.

I guess that's why the narrow road to heaven... is really NARROW.
