A really interesting, compelling post. I appreciate that the site is taking a bigger picture look at life lately and publishing stories like this.

Comment #15 is especially accurate — any time you’ve got resentment boiling under the surface, you’re officially not in the moment. That’s not a good thing.

Not to get too quasi-Eastern here, but you’ll be a lot more happy if you look at what’s in front of you, rather than dwelling on past slights (which may not even be real).

Wise and insightful as always, Neal. Washing away these types of resentments is probably the hardest thing. But when you have anger inside, the only person it’s hurting is yourself. I’ve been learning some great tips on how to just not get in the way of myself. We can be our own greatest troublemakers.

Thanks for sharing…

Anger does take a toll and you really miss out on the current experience. Another plus is you probably have 10 less concussions that you’re football counterparts;)

CLF#8 – Interesting point. I know that I was still pretty resentful during my 40’s and it took some work to get rid of them. Having said that, the work I did was indeed “growing up”. Good reminder. Thanks.

I have always lived by the motto that “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. I resent watching a train wreck with my parents that is bount to happen when my father passes away (he has both feet in the grave hanging onto the grass). They failed to plan for my mom if she succeeds him and the burden will fall on me to support her as she will be destitute without a home or income not even SS. Writing it down will not make it go away. Yet, I cannot sluff off this burden. I planned my retirement, and debt reduction and money to leave for my spouse. It just galls me that people go through life with a narry-a-care attitude.

Great post. If I resent the bastards, then the bastards win, right;-)? Holding onto anger/resentment is narcissism. Really, are we that important?

Thanks for the post Neal. Good tips on writing out the resentments and saying THANK YOU!

Jealousy is a powerful emotion that just makes people miserable. This is exactly what I’ve touched upon in today’s post at FS.

I think about all the good karma the “lucky” people have, and know they did something in the past to deserve their good fortune.
