"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." -Mark Twain
This quote brings up the topic of forgiveness for me. Anger can stew and rot within a person for a very long time, and it only ever does harm to them. People who hold anger have a mental list of every wrong anyone has ever done to them, and this is a fuel to the fire. To me this quote is a reminder that forgivness frees the mind, and it is the only way to go. Not only do we need to forgive to help ourselves but giving forgiveness frees the person you hold accountable also. Anger builds, forgiveness frees.
