Withholding Forgiveness

You withhold forgiveness from someone to punish yourself. For we are One, and what you do to another or withhold from another is done to you. You shall receive as you give out. When you withhold forgiveness, you do it in order to punish the other person. But you do this because you have not forgiven yourself for your "sins", and you believe you deserve punishment. By withholding forgiveness from another, you are in effect punishing yourself.
