Persistent feelings of anger can always harbour resentment, but why is it in our best interest to let go? It's in our best interest to let go because resentment can make us physically unwell.
As we begin to let go of resentment, we can begin to strengthen our identity and feelings. Around resentment we’re telling others that our experiences and our suffering matters. That we matter, that they should listen that they should change the way they deal with us.
That we won’t allow others to treat us in this way. Around resentment, we would rather deny than admit we’re hurting, or that we’ve been wronged. We would rather carry injustice than admit to others how we feel. We become bitter and embroiled.
We feel aggrieved, angry and take exception and that can continue to feed into our psyche. But when it comes to resentment, we need to deal with our own truth, of why we hold resentment.
Without the truth, we’re the ones that will continue to struggle, because those we're holding resentment against, probably aren't struggling at all.
