Stephen Pierce: Well of course. With the same justice that we want to given to us it’s the same justice that we should give to somebody else. Whether they did it deliberately, intentionally or they did it accidentally. Understand that people make mistakes.
Some mistakes are bigger than others. Some mistakes can impact us more so than others, but it’s still a mistake. Or maybe it was done deliberately because they don’t like you. In either case do not allow that incident in life to become an emotional chokehold on you that it prevents you from functioning to your maximum capacity and optimum levels because you’re harboring this un-forgiveness.
It’s best to just let it go. Plus, un-forgiveness is really spiritually and physically unhealthy. People actually get sick from harboring too much un-forgiveness. So it’s best to just let it go.
Otherwise regardless of how many days you move forward into your future, you’re going to always be trapped to a part of your past because you’re bringing this un-forgiveness with you.
When you allow yourself to forgive people, bam, that instant that you just clear yourself of it and you allow yourself to be forgiven you don’t have to carry that moment with you into your future. You can just let it go.

Zapping sleepers' brains boosts memory
Applying a gentle electric current to the brain during sleep can significantly boost memory, researchers report.
A small new study showed that half an hour of this brain stimulation improved students'
performance at a verbal memory task by about 8%.
The approach enhances memory by creating a form of electrical current in the brain seen in deep sleep, the researchers suggest.
Jan Born at the University of Luebeck in Germany, and colleagues, recruited 13 healthy medical students for the study and gave them a list of word associations, such as "bird" and "air", to learn late in the evening. Afterwards, researchers placed two electrodes on the forehead and one behind each ear of the volunteers and let them sleep.
The students' various sleep stages were monitored using an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine. When the students entered a period of light sleep, Born's team started to apply a gentle current in one-second-long pulses, every second, for about 30 minutes.
The EEG readings revealed that this current had put students into a deeper state of sleep.
The next morning, the students performed about 8% better on the word memory test than when they underwent the same type of memory experiment without brain stimulation.
Nerve firing
Born believes this memory boost was due to the pattern of the applied current mimicking that seen in naturally occurring deep sleep, where memory consolidation is thought to take place.
Strong brain currents in this stage of sleep probably cause more intense nerve firing, he says, which might enhance activity in the brain's memory centre, the hippocampus.
Some researchers are skeptical of Born's "mimicking deep sleep" theory, however. Felipe Fregni at the Harvard Center for Non-invasive Brain Stimulation in Boston, US, says that he and other scientists have shown that brain stimulation with non-sleep-type currents can produce similar memory enhancements.
Potential side effects
There is growing evidence that brain stimulation might one day help improve memory in patients with dementia or other forms of cognitive impairment, experts say.
"It could be very useful to restore function in people with brain injury," says Daniel Herrera at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, US, who has studied the effects of brain stimulation in rats.
Healthy people might eventually try using this approach to maximize their brainpower, Herrera says:
"I think every single medical student in the country might want to plug into this type of device at home or in the dorm."
But he stresses that applying electrical currents to the brain might have unwanted side effects.
Born also says he would be "a little hesitant" to regularly use brain stimulation during sleep to boost
memory: "In the end we don't know if there are adverse side effects that we just don't recognize at the moment."
