Do You Look Back in Anger?

Do you look back in anger at something unjust that happened? You were innocent, and yet you took the blame. Do you hold grudges? Can you let go? Stress and anger are not good, but how can you forgive and forget?

Kids these days have pressure at school and suffer from stress. Do you suffer from stress? Do you get angry? Can you forget about an injustice that happened decades ago? Can you move on?
