Resentment: A feeling of anger or displeasure stemming form belief that one has been wronged by others or betrayed; indignation.
"Finally, we begin to see that all people, including ourselves, are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong, and then we approach true tolerance and see what real love for our fellows actually means."
"The moment we ponder a twisted or broken relationship with another person, our emotions go on the defensive. To escape looking at the wrongs we have done another, we resentfully focus on the wrongs he has done us."
"Let's remember that alcoholics are not the only ones bedeviled by sick emotions."
"It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us."
"Since defective relations with other human beings have nearly always been the immediate cause of our woes . . . "
"Or, if my disturbance was seemingly caused by the behavior of others, why do I lack the ability to accept conditions I cannot change? . . . . If I am unable to change the present state of affairs, am I willing to take the measure necessary to shape my life to conditions as they are?"
