[QUOTE="sanjuro893, post: 1899019, member: 4491"] I come from a long line of grudge-holding people who don't put up with B.S. very well. Not to mention my bloodline is FULL of clannish peoples who believe in blood for blood, vendettas, etc. I'm a Christian and I'm VERY familiar with Romans 12:19 and what the Bible says about vengeance....... but recently, there are certain people in my life that have either embarrassed or insulted me WAY past my tolerance level. My hands were tied in these separate situations or I would've called them on it right then and there. Once they SAW that my hands were tied, they just kept pushing and PUSHING and [B]PUSHING![/B] None have apologized for what they've done even though I expressed to them AT THE TIME that they were taking it WAY too far. I understand that they'll have to answer for what they've done according to the Bible, but I just can't seem to let it go or just say "screw it", call them out on the carpet and let them know in no uncertain terms to NEVER cross me or take advantage of me again. Now understand that I'm a grown man, almost 40, I've been in plenty of situations like this where they got resolved one way or the other.
