Should there be a Statute of Limitations on being pissed about something or someone? A shelf life, a 'use by' date. Keeping the bitterness and aggravation alive seems so silly..how about one year? Get as pissed you want in 12 months, then move on?

You might do yourself a favor by recognising that Answerbag is international and we don't know the type of 'pissed' you are using. Is it the Commonwealth pissed which means intoxicated, or it it the US pissed which means angry? The meaning you are using would very much impact the answers you get.

I think that's a very good idea! I get mad at people, they get mad at me, but after a while we should drop the 'hate' bit and get on with it. Sometimes we get to the stage where we forget why we fell out in the first place, it's been going on so long! We don't have to be best friends, but at least we can be civil to one another. Let it go. Bygones.

Great idea, let bygones be bygone and move on with your life.

I'd have to say I'd think that was a good idea - but I must admit I am guilty of still spitefully hating my mother-in-law after she stole $6000 from my husband and I and kicked us and our 3 year old son out onto the street while we were trying to save some money. Otherwise, grand idea! I generally get over being pissed quickly and wonder why people hold on to things for so long. Life is short, and we have to live it the best we can and move forward and realize that everyone is faulty at heart and forgive them.

Not a bad idea. I'd like to make one suggestion, though. See what you think. I believe we become so familiar with words and terms that the their true meaning and/or purpose becomes obscured. "Being pissed" = anger Anger is a toxic poison that infects people emotionally and physically. If allowed to linger, it contributes greatly to the breakdown of one's mental and physical health. But that's too complex. Too intellectual. Let's substitute the IDEA of literally carrying FECES for the terms "being pissed". "Literally carrying FECES" is less toxic than anger, but no one in their right mind EVER thinks of "literally carrying it"...but I beg the question. Let's try substituting the term "literally carrying FECES" (or "shit" if you prefer) for "being pissed" and see if your question doesn't answer itself. -

Sounds good to me, Rosie. I try to cut it even shorter than that...like one week, max...(smile). Then it is, "Lord, I deliver the s.o.b. out of my hands...and into yours..."

Absolutely, they hurt them selves more than anything. Holding on to bitterness is like a cancer eating at your soul. Refusing to forgive by holding on to the anger, resentment and a sense of betrayal can make your own life miserable. A vindictive mind-set creates bitterness and lets the betrayer claim one more victim. You will untie yourself from thoughts and feelings that bind you to the offense committed against you. This can reduce the power these feelings otherwise have over you, so that you can a live freer and happier life in the present.
