I have learned that its easier to forgive than to hold a grudge.

I get that, but I think the two don't neccessarily have to go hand in hand.
Forgiveness depends on the act - a true person of good heart and character will not intentionally (IMO) do anything that would hurt others, therefore more than likely all you'd ever have to forgive them for were honest mistakes, miscommunication...etc...the kind of people that I wouldn't "forgive" are those that have committed acts that have made me doubt everything about their good character - the kind of person I try not to be like, and therefore don't need around me.
However, removing oneself from the damaging factor or no longer mixing with the people in question is, to me, just a logical step - it's not about holding a grudge, it's about not allowing events to give me reason to.
