Its a sign of strength not to hold a grudge whether the other person does or not. I hope you are well and happy. :-)

I think it's a strong point. Especially when whatever you're holding a grudge about wasn't even directed at you.

Strength. Anytime You Are Willingly Allowing Yourself To Be At Your Weakest You Are Being Strong. Because You Know You Can Be Hurt But You Choose To Do It Any How.(:

Takes a lot to forgive, and it's hard sometimes. It's a sign of strength. A lot of people hold grudges because it's so freaking easy to do. Just being mad all the time, that's a sign of weakness (giving in to other people's feelings of anger toward you).
Asking for forgiveness is like the ultimate sign of strength. If your ex won't forgive you if you ask, he likes/loves his anger more than he likes/loves you. I hope you find all that you look for. :)Like (1)

I say that in general, it is a sign of personal strength when you stop bearing a grudge against people. However, you have to be cautious also. Because the fact is, someone who doesn't like you and has caused you pain or trouble before might thing of it as a 'weakness' and then use it against you again, once they have gotten your trust back. So don't be a welcome mat either, where people you've forgiven go and wipe their feet on (metaphorically). Be careful, but ALWAYS willing to forgive. Wouldn't you want someone to be willing to give you another chance?Like (1)

The true sign of strength is to stop holding grudges even though they might still hold one against you. If the other person cannot let it go, even if you have, then they are just dead weight and aren't worth your time.

Weakness..grudges should be held forever and electronic records should be kept to keep track of offenders so you know who's funeral to not attend.
