We are forbidden from bearing a grudge, even if we don't take revenge. This means we remember the wrongdoing that the person did to us, and mention it to him.
This mitzvah forbids nursing resentment or keeping anger in one’s heart even without acting on it. Bearing a grudge corrodes relationships and contradicts the Torah’s vision of unity and forgiveness. Instead, the Torah teaches us to release anger, forgive others, and strengthen bonds of peace within the community.
