But if you can’t, then go to the individual and talk about what happened. What I have found is most often the other individual has no idea the impact of their words or action. They sincerely didn’t mean to offend. Most people, if they knew they had injured another, would want the opportunity to work it out — to seek forgiveness.
Now, that may not be the case in every situation. But the fault then lies clearly with the offender. As you let the Savior carry your burden, the Atonement can become the Balm of Gilead to your soul.
Whatever you do, don’t allow unforgiveness on your part to become a cancer that eats away at your peace and happiness. The Savior has already paid the price, let it be His burden that he will gladly carry for you.
