Handling Resentment


We often have experiences where we may experiment resentment and then, it may seem that we have enough causes, reasons and motives. The mind -as fire, turns on -in a moment, the firmament.After some hours, maybe days, we get our sanity back, but very often, it is too late, because we have burned, based on our pride, vanity, arrogance or whatever reasons that we want to use to justify.
We burned our own home and now we have the ashes of our loved ones in our hands because the hatred and unconsciousness blinded us.Do we want to hurt the loved one?
Are our reasons valid to tear the delicate veil of trust, confidence, friendship? What will happen tomorrow? Will we go to sleep next to a calcified cadaver? Can we plant on burned soil? Will we feed on smoky food?
When facing violence, let’s use the superior intelligence, the humble sacrifice that rises with victory and the flag of tolerance and understanding.Jesus taught us to present the other cheek and to forgive seventy-seven times, not because his Love was obsessive or insane but because his Love always was and will be, sincere, real and true. And at the end of times, I do not want to cry resentments or experiment losses, I want to smile and to embrace my loved ones. Today, I promise, that I will put aside conflicts, I will throw away the weapons, I will uproot the rancor and I will always give my best.
