Unfortunately in most cases, pride triumphs over forgiving someone.
When people have their pride/dignity hurt, it's hard to let things go and say ''Okay, you made a mistake, I forgive you.'' Instead, we'd rather hold a grudge because we feel like our honor was damaged by them.

pride comes before a fall,
forgiveness binds wounds, tied people together.
when I win something, or expericence something good,
first thing I want to do it tell someone, share it with someone.
ok, so, someone does something wrong against me,
and my pride doens't allow me to forgive them
I've now lost that freind, or at least driven a wedge between us.
but, I forgive them, and our freindship is stronger,
which do you prefere?
Pride is is having gangrenously wounded feelings and no good comes of it. Forgiveness is easy, but forgetting is much harder in a lot of cases. Why do other people find none of it a problem? It keeps me awake cogitating for hours does that stuff.
Before pride goeth a fall. Or something like that. Suck up the pride. Forgive. But, never forget or you are doomed to repeat history. I forgive, I just remember, so it won't happen again. Does this mean I don't trust? No...I am just not as easily misled.
It depends on the person. One hopes that forgiveness triumphs.
Well, from a biblical standpoint, it says:
