[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 123409, member: 3579"] EW, re: My psychiatric friend called this "giving them free rent in your head". When you should be enjoying your son's game, you're thinking about this issue; when you should be enjoying dinner with your wife/hubby/SO, you're dwelling on your anger; when you should be getting a good night's sleep or enjoying the closed-door company of your partner, you're rehashing how you were wronged. That person has free rent in your head, and is taking up valuable space that belongs to other things and people that are more worthy. His definition of forgiveness "evicts" them from your head, but doesn't commit you to anything beyond that. It's something you do for yourself, and you put the fate of that other person in the hands of karma, or whatever higher power you choose to recognize. I haven't seen that guy in a long, long time. I need to call him and say "Hi". Mikey [/QUOTE]
