Unforgiveness is an act of revenge, and we have two types of revenge. The first one involves a contractual relationship between people or groups, dependent on apology and remorse. While the second type may stem from the wish to free oneself from pain and move on.
Studies have shown that the body responds to physical emotions such as unforgiveness, anger and resentment which when it accumulates over time can make a person prone to different types of health issues.
If we can practice forgiving people that offend us on a regular basis by looking at situations differently and putting our focus on love, compassion and kindness, we can prevent experiencing any health issue related to unforgiveness.
