It's Best To Let Some Things Go.
Did you ever have a friend that insults you or messes with your job or any number of other things and you let it slide. That same friend will misunderstand one little thing and blow up and cut you off. Maybe it's just best to let them go. Why should you forgive and forgive and they won't even listen?

I agree. Its not healthy to hang onto something that is affecting your life in a negative manner. It may be hard to get rid of it, but it is best for you in the end. If the attachment seems more ike its parasitic instead of being mutually beneficial, its probably good time to break the ties and move on. There might be something better just waiting for you not too far away.

Thats so true just let them go they will find someone else who will replace you so who cares if they let you go or if you let them go..

 Oh no doubt.,they will find a replacement. That's what those type of people do. The sad part is by the time they realize that you are irreplaceable it is too late.

Absolutely. Think back to when playing as a kid, you might have a big fight and storm off all mad. But later or the next day you feel like playing again and sooner or later you end up going back to that same kid and letting go and having a good time again. Why can't adults learn to rekindle that ability?

"Turn the other cheek" isn't just a lesson about tolerance, it's also about letting go.

 Thank you Grenache. I meant to let go of a friendship when that friend doesn't cut you the same slack you cut them.

To seek forgiveness in that situation is to reinforce the very behavior you despise. You do yourself and anyone else emotionally involved with this person a disservice by giving tacit approval.

Too many people get caught up in the idea that you have to hold on to things to the point of absurdity, that fact of the matter is that there's nothing wrong with looking out for yourself sometimes, even if that means leaving a "friend" behind because their influence on your life is less than positive. Holding on to people only counts if there is mutual gain, not to say that you should only be friends with people who only do things for you and you for them, but if all you're getting is flak then it's time to step back. Anyway the worlds a wide place full of interesting and good people why hitch your wagon to a brokea$$ horse?

Yes, let go a long time ago. They would not be my friend to begin with or stay my friend for long. They have to go through a probation period before earning the title of, my friend.
