Because it is part of your nature, my dear sweet. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.
Yeah. Okay. Right. So wading in I go.
Stig. I think resentment, like love, begins within self. I've experienced it before, certainly. Upon reflection, it came from piss poor boundaries, and me not trusting the other person enough to handle whatever it was I was 'stuffing' to spare their feelings, etc. Big cop out. I was just too scared to speak my mind and trust the other person could handle whatever came their way. Ah, well, live and learn I suppose.
I've also come to the conclusion that the 'hurt' I deem has come from someone else is really coming from inside as well. It is part of my big ole' pity party of one. I have suffered what I consider a 'loss' and I am feeling hurt for me.
That's cool. We all hurt. We all cry. It is a natural part of the healing cycle. Denial of acceptance of 'what is...' rather than 'what was' when I wasn't hurting.
You are in the midst of healing right now, my friend. Healing is a process, it is not an event. Hurt. Feel it. Let it run through you and then out of you. Forgive it and then thank it for the many blessings it has and will bring to you... many of which you cannot see or fathom yet.
And I wholely agree with you about 'happy' people. Happy people 'send out.' Unhappy people 'suck in.'
Be at peace (being the practice of tolerance and empathy.)
