"When you choose resentment over love, you open the drama. You then stay in the drama until, hopefully, you finally make the decision to choose love. For some, this can take a lifetime. For others, it never happens. They spend all their years in what I call "incarceration" in my book Love and Suffering: Break the Emotional Chains that Prevent You from Experiencing Love."
"I know it's not easy to resist the temptation of resentment. You have a natural human tendency to become angry when you feel another person has wronged you. You then either direct this anger inward (resentment) or outward, toward its perceived source ( revenge). I encourage you to let go of this anger and choose love. While anger is the emotion you feel when your life is not as you wish it to be, love is what aligns your life with what it can become."
Love is described as spectacular, radiant, and inherent within each person. Resentment keeps people trapped in emotional drama and incarceration, preventing experience of love. Anger arises from unmet expectations and can be directed inward as resentment or outward as revenge. Letting go of anger and choosing love aligns life with potential and opens many paths to happiness and meaning. Acceptance increases compassion and reduces blaming of others. Reaching a simplicity beyond complexity alters how one returns to simplicity. Wanting a partner without needing them transforms relationships and reduces fear of loss.
