Hello @garybilbao
There is an almost natural human tendency to give priority to negative feelings and emotions, as if they will lead us to a better destiny.
That is why many times pride, envy among other similar ones are usually the protagonists and the ones that guide human behavior.
To forgive implies many things, among those things to leave pride aside, I believe that it is one of the things that makes people not to bend, but evidently it is necessary to learn.
Greetings.
