Everything we do has a cost. The cost may include money, time, physical or mental exertion, or a toll on our emotional health and well-being. Sometimes, the cost of our actions is imposed on the people we love. Failing to forgive others exacts a tremendous cost.
If someone crashes into our automobile, there is not only a monetary cost for repairs but also the costs of inconvenience, physical trauma, frustration, and time exerted in making phone calls, filing insurance claims, and obtaining police reports.
