Holding a Grudge
Bismillaah
The three most harmful diseases of the heart are: Kibr, Riyaa & Hasad.
When someone says anything towards you that pushes you to hold a grudge against them, have any type of ill feelings, just make du`aa’ for them. Ask Allaah to forgive them and bless them in this dunya and the aakhirah. Try to look at the good qualities of the person as well. It’s amazing how much better our lives become for doing this.

Jazakillahu khair. Much needed.
You know, this is why, no matter how much we know similar advice, or even the exact same quote, has been floating around, that if it touches you, you should still share it anyway. Because out of even the few or more people that visit your blog, surely at least one is bound to benefit at that point in time.
I think that is more to reassure myself hehe. But yeah, thanks again! If I could add, this could be part of having patience when first hit - as the person is driving you to the edge, you make du’a for them, and that is befitting. :)

It’s most definitely like you said, having patience when first hit. A good reminder as well.
