forget your resentment

We have good memories. Especially at remembering something painful and poignant. That's why bad and painful experiences of suffering bring us angst and resentment. We live in hope that one day we'll get the revenge and get back to the guys who made us suffer. I guess that's a normal emotional thought. As long as I am able to mediate it and know where is the limit, there is no problem.

However, things start to go wrong horribly the moment your seed of resentment blossoms into a tree. It will terrorize you mentally and the resentment you have inside will tear you apart. Harboring painful pasts is not going to be good to our heart, body and mind. Piling the resentments against others make us slaves to them. The pain in our hearts is not going to be erased by taking revenge. Plotting revenge is also eating us up, inside out.

The best is, to release all these resentments by refusing to relive what has been tearing us apart. Leave all the pain to the Higher Self. By doing so, we have released our life from the grip of resentments. We are ready to face the future.
