"Holding on to those negative feelings never makes things better".

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

And one of my favorite bits of wisdom and sarcasm, attributed to Oscar Wilde:

"It may be a sin to think ill of others, but it is rarely a mistake."
