"Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself."
Suzanne Somers
This quote is true because when you forgive someone, you do much more for yourself then you do for them. You release yourself from the grip of hatred they have on you and that gives you more freedom because you're no longer worried about them and the things that they do. If you go on without forgiving someone then you will always have conflict that inevitably causes more stress in your life. Also, if you and this person genuinely dislike each other then forgiving them will annoy them because then they know that they no longer have a control or influence over you even though it was negative in the past. It shifts the power in your life from those with whom you have conflict and puts the power in your own hands.
