Everyone has held a grudge once in their lifetime. And it’s always over something trivial, such as being late for something. It’s normal to be mad over something petty. It’s how we act is that matters.
From watching and reading many stories, I find that people often go out of their way to hurt someone because of a grudge. Most of the time, I find that the reason is something very petty and ultimately not a good reason at all.
And even worse, due to this petty thing, someone can be willing to destroy another person’s life over it. They try to ensure that the victim cannot be happy and ruin them. All so they can feel better over whatever had happened to them.
From everything I heard, I find that it sounds too exhausting to ruin someone’s life over one thing. It sounds like a waste of time to focus on being mad and planning revenge over one thing.
And even if you successfully settled your grudge, what happens next? Often in stories, people don’t enjoy their undeserved victories for very long. Karma always catches up to them.
And even if karma doesn’t catch up, what’s the point of trying to get revenge over that petty thing? Is the subject trying to hurt other people? Are they doing something illegal? Is it out of a sense of justice?
Most of the time, it isn’t.
So in my eyes, holding grudges over something petty and not impactful is ultimately meaningless. I find it to be too exhausting and a waste of time.
