OUGHT
Biblically speaking "ought" is when you at odd's with another person or have a disagreement with someone. A good portion of today's differences are over money and property. I urge you to pray and read the bible about it before you react. In James 1:5 it is written that " If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God...and it will be given to you" Also Proverbs 15:22 "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed."
Holding on to differences or a grudge only harm's the person holding on to the difference or grudge. For example I had an issue with a fellow church member, it seemed like I was blamed for everything that went wrong for that person. I was ready to cut back my church schedule so I didn't have to deal with that person. But word got to my Pastor and he was not happy myself or the other party, gave me some scriptures and words of wisdom. He was right I was taking the wrong approach to things. I took a more head on approach to see what would happen. It worked for me but the other person was back at it a couple days later. Prayer is always the best thing in situations like these.
Here are some scriptures that may help you:
1John 4:20-21
Matthew 18:15-17
Mark 11:25
Hebrews 12:14-15
1 Peter 3:8-9
Matthew 18:21-22
