RESENTMENTS

Resentments roam the forest and if we enter the forest, beware they might bite us.

And if they bite us, they can remain as scars and hurts - reminding us of the time we roamed that time in forest.

Paths help.

Compasses help.

GPS helps.

Awareness helps.

Companionship helps.

And we can't go through life, without going through some forests.

That's the reality of life.

We can see the forest - and - or - we can see the trees - and - or - we can see both.

Sometimes we resent - get angry at - complain about realities - especially the people who are part of our reality.  Sometimes it's the whole group; sometimes it's an individual.

Resentments come from anger and vice versa.

Resentments can beget angers.

Resentments come from the reality of comparisons.

Comparisons beget the complaint called, "Unfair."

And unfair is the mother of resentments.

And we can feel great resentments - especially those about ourselves - but many's a time we don't notice or pay attention to their origins or down deeps - or how they seeped into us.

We do something stupid. We waste time - like a whole day - like a whole afternoon - like a whole hour - or a whole year. We blame others - once more the group or once more - an individual - specific person.

Yet it's us.

Resentments can be long lasting.  They crazy glue themselves to our memories - and last till we get dementia.

They leave a residue. They leave an aftertaste - an oooh sound. Bitter. Bitter. Bitter.

Resentments have a memory.  When we walk by certain places, trees, graves - sometimes they itch us with an "Uh oh!,  Oh No!" feeling.

Resentments roam the forest.  They will never be an extinct species.
