Ethical question:
    #10184889 -

Ethics is a branch of axiology which is a branch of philosophy.  Hence, the ethical question:

What is a reasonable length of time to hold onto a grudge if one wishes to maintain a healthy state of mind?

1)  A day.
2)  A week.
3)  A month.
4)  A year.
5)  Never.  You hold your prisoner hostage until you draw your last breath.

I think that depends greatly on the circumstance...

Holding a grudge serves no purpose other then to bolster self-importance.

We all do it from time to time.

It really depends what the grudge is about. Although I find that I really can't hold a grudge for more than a day, unless its over something huge.

Holding a grudge serves no purpose but to increase your own mental negativity.

Forgive but do not forget.

What if the event that the grudge was all about was totally self-fabricated and had no basis in reality? (Ask Ice to translate for anyone that has me On Ignore).

None of the above. The time should be zero.

I don't know what would be ethical and I can't see how something like this could have something to do with ethics, but I wouldn't hold on to a grudge for even a second, because it's not good for me and my emotional state, and my aim is to be happy and peaceful. :smile:

I agree with you and deCypher.  This comes from my own experience.

As CherryBom said, it is dependent on the circumstances.  But, that is only seeking justification to hang onto that which poisons you.

How exactly we "let it go" is something of a mystery to me.

I don't dwell in the pangs of lost love.  Then "our song" comes out of the radio and I "feel" _________.

What does that mean?

I thought this would be a question of morality. :shrug:

This depends on circumstance, you should ask "in situation X, how long is a reasonable time to hold a grudge." Because, calling someone a dumbass and killing their parents are quite different situations (I would hold a grudge against the person who killed my parents longer than against the person who called me a name)

Also, grudges don't really get you anywhere.

Also, what was the point of that first sentence about "which is a branch of..."

I think you should hold on to your grudge as long as possible; but when it just isn't there anymore you've got to move on.

I prefer to nurse my grudges until they're like a boil ready to pop.

That way everything gets all icky and messy.  Just the way I like it.

I have never induced any kind of mind altering substance in my life  and i have no intentions whatsoever of doing anything illegal.
If I have ever suggested such a thing it would have most likely been , due to my personality disorder and i probably do not remember it at all..

Grudges are antithetical to the maintenance of a healthy mind.  Swift, exacting and decisive revenge is the most conducive to a healthy mental state.

Revenge has always worked out for me. I don't see why so many people say to never seek it.

As long as you don't complain or try to run away from the consequences when they catch up to you...

Holding a grudge, and building up hate/negative energy in the time before enacting revenge, can lead to a more satisfying release when you finally trip the hammer of your personal "justice". ~(I say this from personal experience)~

It's definitely an unstable weapon/state of mind; like playing with fire, but if your fine with gambling, the odds of being burned don't seem that bad.




But if your not going to act on the grudge, then it serves no real value...

Last night I was honored with the Nobel Prize in theoretical physics. This worldwide recognition has given me the opportunity to bring hope to a war-ravaged world. I vowed to myself I would work like a dog at this. But now, it's 10:30 in the morning and I'm just getting out of bed. I did get up earlier around 8:00am, but I just lied in bed for a while, and then...jerked off. I've got to stop masturbating, it makes me too lazy. Stop it Albert...stop it.
