Forgiving vs. saying "I am sorry", giving vs. taking

Ok, again this will be a bit off topic. yes people, I have tons of time to think these days and not everything can be cancer related. Indirectly, however, really all that is going on, everything I think about these days has something to do with MY disease.

So these days I have been thinking about forgiving and saying "I am sorry". I am not exactly good at either one.
Yes, I hold grudges. I don't want to, but I find myself doing it nonetheless. I know that once I have been hurt by someone too badly, I have a hard time letting go.
I also struggel with apologizing. I can see when I did something wrong and have no problem admitting it to myself but when it comes to others, I struggel.

Anyways, since I lack in those areas I want to make a point of becoming better at them. As I decided to do so, I was wondering which of the two is more important? My personal conclusion is that the area that you are lacking in more needs (maybe) more attention....HOWEVER, both are equally important to oneself and to others. It is like giving and taking. We need to be good in both....

What do you think, I wonder? Forgiving or apologizing? Which one is more important?
