1. The feelings of resentment, anger, and blame that we hold onto only hurt us, not the so-called "others."
Just as consuming unhealthy food harms the body, holding onto grievances harms the mind by limiting our ability to experience peace and happiness.
2. Empty calories are foods that provide little to no nutritional value but are high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and artificial ingredients.
Although these foods temporarily satisfy cravings they ultimately contribute to poor health.
Similarly, holding onto grievances gives us a temporary sense of satisfaction, but they lack true nourishment for the mind.
3. Grievances and empty calories both lack the nourishment needed for peace of mind.
In the case of grievances, they prevent us from experiencing forgiveness, compassion, and love, which are essential for our spiritual growth.
Just as empty calories fail to provide essential nutrients for the body, holding onto grievances fails to provide the mental nourishment necessary for inner peace and healing.
