The more developed your strengths, the more likely you are to aspire to higher goals and achieve a life of great satisfaction and joy. My favorite analogy is one used by Edward Anderson and Donald O.

Psychological research is finding that being a forgiving person is essential to happiness. Even when someone wrongs you, feeling anger or hatred only causes your life to descend into misery and resentment. You are the one who suffers, not the person with whom you’re angry. Forgiving, on the other hand, can lift the burden.
When Buddha and Jesus and other great spiritual figures taught us to forgive those who sin against us, they weren’t just pronouncing holy philosophy, rather, they were giving practical down-to-earth life advice. There is no question that you will be more satisfied with your life and will be less likely to experience symptoms of psychological distress, such as nervousness, restlessness and sadness if you let go of past traumas and disappointments.
