Yes. Karma will pay you back. As it in the Bible, what you bind here will be bound in heaven and what ever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Read the book of Matthew chapter 18.
Try 2 make right here on earth while you still have the chance. Let them know how u feel and they may apologize.
Forgive for you will be forgiven.

You should do neither. You should also pray to God to help those that done you wrong. If you can forgive that person, without any grudges, I believe it just make you the better and bigger person. It doesn't matter who it is. You have to remember who you are, and what you are and go on with your own life. If you can't live with yourself for not able to forgive because that person does not say sorry, you should do what ever is possible to ignore and stay away from that person. this means change your job, the location where you live or whatever that will help you avoid that person. I know it sounds like you are running away from your problems. You see the person who done you wrong probably did not have the capacity to recognize his/her own fault and definitely is in dire need of professional help. The need to feel important is so great that sometimes we lower our morals and forget who they are and once was, and if you don't mind me mentioning should just walk on all four and lick everyone on the butt. If you can catch my drift on this one. Good enough, yes?

It's a good idea to forgive the person for the wrong they have done against you. Holding a grudge against someone increases your own anxiety, while the other person still might not even care. Learn to accept things and forgive people for what they've done. Sometimes that's just the way things have to be.

If a person doesn't believe that what they did was wrong, then there is no need for the other person to forgive them, is there?
I don't think a person should hold onto a grudge, though. But if the other person isn't sorry, then that should always be taken into account in any future dealings with that person.

It is extremely difficult to forgive someone for something they are not sorry for (personal experience). But I believe that you should try to forgive them for the sake of your own self. It may take some time to be able to fully forgive them though.

I tend to believe you only have a duty to forgive someone if they ask for forgiveness.
Regardless if they have or not, don't hold a grudge. It's not worth the time or energy. Spend that energy doing something good and worthwile.

you are responsible for your own actions. Not the thoughts and actions of another. Don't let that issue go unforgiven. Remember, the Bible says as you judge you shall be judged. With what mete you measure it shall be measured to you. Even Christ on the cross said "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do!" Is this hurt more than the hurt Christ was experiencing on that tree? Remember---you must give an account of your unforgiveness. let it go....forgive them. doesn't even matter if you tell them. You will know.

Depends on a person. I usually forgive and this person ends up feeling worse, because I do not care anymore, but he has to live with the knowledge that he harmed me. So I guess forgiving works

I would say forgive for your own sanity. Holding a grudge will only make you feel bad inside. You can forgive but you don't have to forget.

absolutely- as Jesus said on the cross... "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do".... just because someone is not sorry doesnt give us the right to hold bitterness in our hearts by not forgiving them. Did you know that bitterness and anger towards someone can turn into physical sickness? LIke high blood pressure, anxiety attacks, heart attacks, strokes, etc? Somethin to think about......
