That said, harboring residual animosity is never the ideal way to go.
It's understandable, but it's never the ideal.
The ideal is being able to forgive others, but hold them responsible for their actions.
It's like dealing with a person who has murdered one of your loved ones. If you can never forgive them (by looking back in their past, and seeing how and why they became a "monster"), you will be locked in that point of soul growth, emotionally and spiritually. They should still reap the consequences of their actions (for their soul growth), but your ideal is to reach a point of letting the bitterness go, and forgive them.
The Universe is placing this situation in your path to teach you a lesson as well. Your lesson is to learn how to release bitterness, and forgive. In that you will find freedom.
