Why Forgive?

When asked by the desciples how many times one should forgive their brother, Jesus answered "Not 7 times, but 7 times 70."

Now of He wasnt meaning that in a literal sense, but meaning that you never stop forgiving. Why forgive? Because when you forgive someone you realize that you have set prisoners free, and that prisoner is really yourself. Forgiving breaks the cycle of revenge. Revenge is great excpet for one thing, it never settles the score.
