HATE!
A strong word.
I REALLY HATE YOU/HER/HIM/THEM!
Bitterness & powerful statement.
I WISH THEM ALL THE BAD THINGS ON EARTH!
The "Karma" thoughts
I WANNA DO SOMETHING BAD TO THEM!
Revenge.
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE OR FORGET IT!
Consume your life.
When people do bad things toward us, especially when all we do was being good to them, or at least that is what we thought we did, is hurtful.
When strangers do hurtful things toward us, we get mad but it is easier to let it go because we do not know them personally. The anger comes fast and might be gone faster too because there is no emotional connection. We get mad, we punch them or say bad things, then/or we move on (in some cases, not really, lol).
When people dear to us, like a family member, spouse, children, and friends do us wrong, that is even more unbearable. The hurt, the betrayal, the pain and the "I cannot believe it," moment. They are family and friends, they suppose to be nice-supportive-good toward us, right?!
Ideally, we suppose to be nice to each other, especially those who are dear to us.
But, in reality, people are people.
We all have our own strength, weaknesses, flaws, needs, hot button, past and present life.
We will say or do things that we do not expect us to say or do based on what our past taught us or what the present moment offered us to say or do.
People comes with a different baggage on their back, some has been carrying it for way too long, never unpack it.
In other words, many of us carried the extra weight that we do not actually need in life.
There are things that we need to let it go because it is beyond our control.
There are moments that we need to forget because it is not worth the space in our brain and heart.
Do YOURSELF a favor and learn to let it go.
The bad things that people did to you, may it be a lesson for us not to do that to other people and not to fall on the same mistake twice.
We will not be able to go back to that moment and do something differently, it is already happened in our past, beyond our control.
The hatred that you have in your heart and brain is consuming your life.
What does it mean?
It means it dictates your every move, it follows you like a ghost, it limits your ability to trust-love-care again, it makes you sad and depressed, it makes you sick physically, it makes you crippled mentally and drained your faith spiritually. It takes away precious moments from those who loves you because you are too busy thinking and in a way buried yourself in your old wound that suppose to be healed by now.
If you keep stabbing the wound, it creates deepest scar.
You do not need that in life, do you?.

"Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12:19
"For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer."
Romans 13:4
"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."
James 4:17
"The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light, but the Lord will be your everlasting light and your God will be your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended."
Isaiah 60:19-20
Isaiah 60:19-20

From my own experience, when I did wrong to other people, I cannot sleep well, I keep thinking about it until I make peace with them. In other word, those who hurts you has its own "nature punishment".
We reap what we sow, right?
It simply means if we do something bad, that seed will haunt us and we will pay the price of what we did.
This is why we need to make peace with ourselves, people that we hurt and people who hurt us, for our own goodness and sanity and because God said so! (John 14:15)
Have a good day,
Unpack those extra weight,
Give your back a rest
