The Minister labored long and hard to deliver his Sunday sermon entitled: "Forgive Your Enemies." Toward the end of the service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"
80 percent of the congregation held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time except one small elderly lady.
"Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" the minister asked.
"I don't have any." She replied. smiling sweetly.
"Mrs. Jones, That is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety-Eight." She replied.
"Oh, Mrs. Jones. Would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world."
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: "I outlived the Bitches."

Very funny indeed !
I have had problems with forgiveness my entire life. I don't feel that a person absolutely HAS to be forgiven UNLESS the ask for it.
Therefore, I've forgiven all of my enemies except about 3 perhaps 4. Others were forgiven by default when I read in the Bible that if I was to be forgiven than I would need to forgive.
I specifically try to deal with my hate prior to retiring for the day. Sometimes I am not entirely successful.
Though I myself attempt to repent and consider myself "not perfect, just forgiven" there are moments when I could certainly live with a scenario such as that you posed as well !
