THE FUSE

Though understandable and usually justified, resentment is a self-eroding emotional state that makes us powerless over our own well-being. Instead of improving, it makes us devalue someone else, keeping us in enduring devalued states. It works like ice on a wound, numbing pain but preventing healing. It impairs self-awareness and turns us into someone we’re not. We cannot heal and resent at the same time.
