What we see is always ourselves. (That may be from the "Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment" but it may be from a Hugh Prather book, or some other...whichever, whomever, for sure it is true.)
All resentments are self-originated, self-propelled, self-looped...sent from self, returning to self. I look at resentments as ego's raincoat, helping ego maintain its illusion of being sheltered from the acid rain, thus untouched by it. The fact is that it is from within that very shelter that the acid is eating away at our soul.
There is nothing easier than letting go of a resentment. All it takes is our being willing to be wrong...or to appear to be wrong. Our reasoning mind goes bat wing crazy over the very idea...flapping and flailing and causing torment beyond imagining...and justifiably according to the mind game people.
But what we're learning is that life is not a mind game. If we're in it to win it, we're in our own mind game, and we just lost.
Life is a journey, spiritual in nature, with the care and concern for others our only goal. Resentments are simply detours on our journey, and each of us is the sole determiner of how long we stay on our detour.
Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve.
Thank you.
