My parents say to me, just like most parents say to their kids, that I should let go of unfair treatment that I receive and just move on with my life. They tell me to not be angry and vengeful about injustices and to instead focus on bettering myself for a better future.
Justice is a very important subject to me, and my view is that people should never “let go” of injustices. I strongly believe that letting injustices slide is an unjust act itself—I see injustice as debt that must not go unpaid. While I admit that it’s usually not worthwhile to retaliate/revenge on stuff that happened a long time ago—for instance, it isn’t so smart to spend years tracking down your middle school bully just to hit him/her back—I nonetheless support and admire revenge-seekers such as Niko Bellic in GTA IV. There’s a caveat: I only support revenge/retaliation that’s based on rational ethical/moral principles of justice, and acting in retaliation/revenge from solely emotional motives is bad.
IMO, even if someone decides to not pursue revenge/retaliation, (s)he should never, ever let go of injustices that others inflict on him/her. Letting go, or worse, forgetting, is extremely low-T and soycucked. I say always hold injustices close to your heart because justice is as important as life itself.
