The Grudge Holders

What, exactly, is mankind's biggest problem? Is it the failure of humans to be tolerant? Is it a lack of compassion? 

There are those who like to say that what the world needs now is love, sweet love.

Those people are, of course, idiots.

The biggest problem the world has is memory. People have it, and it's the cause of too many problems.

Millions of people on this planet are being told, or telling others, to remember what such and such a group of people did to ____ people X amount of years ago - never forget! They must be punished for their offenses to ____ people.

That is called holding a grudge, and just like an individual holding a grudge, a group of people holding a grudge does nothing but imprison that particular group of people.

And cause a lot of grief for everybody else.

I propose an international "Just-Let-It-Go" day. One day a year for the entire world to just let go of all those harbored resentments and to live in the here and now.

Start hating your neighbor for something they actually did instead of something some long-dead ancestor of theirs did.
