While I agree that it's no use hanging on to resentment over minor things, I do feel that bad things sometimes happen to teach us a lesson, and should be treated as a learning experience or else we just go through life endlessly repeating the same mistakes and wondering why the outcome is the same every time.
I have made some serious mistakes in a long lifetime, but I do try to learn from them and remember how I got into some problems so I don't do the same dumb thing over again. Call me cynical, but remembering bad times and bad people and trying to avoid repeating the bad experience works better for me than just forgetting what happened and how I may have had a part in it.

Traffic may have been slow in NYC today because of the "Occupy" people blocking some streets and some of the tunnels. It was on the news last night, so possibly some people avoided driving into the city today.
