Resentment is the source of....

Resentment... is the source of untold misery and spiritual disease. -Nat'l Catholic Council on Alcoholism & Related Drug Problems (NCCA); can be found in the prayer book "Prayers for Addicted Persons and their Loved Ones" available free at www.nccatoday.org)

it was once pointed out to me that while i'm being resentful (angry, upset, unhappy), the guy i'm resenting might be sipping a margarita on the beach; and whatever he's doing, he has no idea i'm angry.

as i've heard others say, 'letting someone you're angry with live rent free in your head' doesn't make a lot of sense.

and lastly, i've also heard this one that i like:  being resentful is like drinking poison and hoping the guy i'm resenting will die.

no wonder it leads to spiritual disease....
