Dealing With Resentment

~ Gottfried

Resentment is nasty. What makes it so ugly is that it has a tendency to turn you an otherwise kind and reasonable person, into someone who is so angry at their own life situation that it is nearly impossible to recover. Bitterness and resentment make it hard even for the people who love you to be around you. Also mouth odor, but that’s not the topic here.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn’t change the heart of others. It only changes yours. Resentment festers causing continuous feelings of bitterness. You cannot be happy and resentful at the same time. Even real haters know this. True resentment tastes like beer, don’t ask me how I got to know this.

The worst resentment anybody can have is the one you feel justified to keep. At this point, I think some people were put on this planet to test my anger management skills. When you’re angry with someone, it helps to sit down and think about the problem. You soon realize that the problem in a shocking turn of events, could be YOU. And that’s okay. 

Resentment is like setting yourself on fire and waiting for other people to die of smoke inhalation. Your barbecued body isn’t going to change anything in the end. Don’t break anybody’s heart, they have just one. For a more protective step, beak their bones instead, they have 206. Worth noting that a moment of patience in a moment of anger saves you a hundred moments of regret.

I wouldn’t have to manage my anger if people would manage their stupidity. It’s never worth the anger though. Energy is everything. Be careful where you spend your energy because you won’t get that time back. Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. You can’t go through life fueled by hate, or can you?

Our fatigue is often caused not by walk, but by worry, frustration and resentment. Only when a mosquito lands on your testicles, you will truly learn that there is always a way to solve problems without using anger and violence. Take forgiveness slowly. Don’t blame yourself for being slow. Peace will come. There is an anger in all of us. And at the end of the day…

Anger should never be an overnight guest. Ask her to leave.
