I see that from a personal perspective as well as seeing the effects on others. Being stuck in anger and resentment does not make for a peaceful existence. There is no way to keep objective thinking and problem solving intact when our life is bombarded by irritants and continuous thoughts about how to get back at some one for any wrongs, real or imagined, they may have done to us. One of my favorite sayings, that came to me in the last couple months, is by an unknown but very wise author: “Hold ing resentment is like eating poison and waiting for the other person to keel over.” We all know that is not going to happen. While we get stuck sitting in our resentment, trapped by our negativity, the person(s) our feelings are directed toward probably have totally forgotten about the issue, if they even were aware of it in the first place. So who are we hurting? Only ourselves and perhaps the friends and family who are in close contact to us who get hit by our “fallout.” What to do about changing? Obvi ously a change in attitude is necessary. But it’s not easy to do when we’ve made it a habit to be angry all the time. A certain amount of adrenaline is released when we get in a rant. Those adrenaline highs can become addictive in themselves, which makes it harder for us to let go. If we are serious about making the positive changes we need to bring peace and serenity into our life and find that trying to do it on our own is not working, making an appointment with a counselor to guide us through the process can help. And if you believe in the power of prayer, pray a lot. Ask for prayer from trusted people in your life. Move on to a better quality life.
