Resentment Quotes - Page 22

• Una serpiente de cascabel, si se ve acorralada, se enfadará tanto que se morderá a sí misma. Eso es exactamente lo que es albergar odio y resentimiento contra los demás: morderse a uno mismo. Pensamos que estamos dañando a otros al albergar estos rencores y odios, pero el daño más profundo es para nosotros mismos.

  E. Stanley Jones

• Envuelvo el potencial de amargura, resentimiento y martirio en la manta del perdón y lo dejo en el suelo. Entonces se derrite en el calor. Y desaparece.

• Self-loathing and self-worship can easily be the same thing. You hate the small sack of fluids and resentments that you are, and you would go to any length, and betray anything and anyone, to preserve it.

• Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks the perception and experience of life as a gift. My resentment tells me that I don't receive what I deserve. It always manifests itself in envy.

• All of us carry around countless bags of dusty old knickknacks dated from childhood: collected resentments, long list of wounds of greater or lesser significance, glorified memories, absolute certainties that later turn out to be wrong. Humans are emotional pack rats. These bags define us.

• I got the sense that he was the kind of person who couldn't hold anger for more than a few minutes, because it just wasn't in him. It could never grow into resentment or bitterness, and I knew then that he was the kind of man who would be married forever. And I decided then and there that I should be the one to marry him.

• I am always amazed by people who know something is wrong but still insist on ignoring it, as if that will somehow make it go away. They spare themselves the confrontation, but end up boiling in resentment anyway.

• Durante siete días permaneció en cama mirando hoscamente al techo, como resentida por la muerte que había cultivado durante tantos años. Como algunas personas que no pueden vomitar a pesar de las horribles náuseas, permaneció allí incapaz de morir, resistiéndose a la muerte como se había resistido a la vida, congelada por el resentimiento ante el proceso y el cambio.

• Do I really smother my own joy because I believe that anger achieves more than love? That Satan's way is more powerful, more practical, more fulfilling in my daily life than Jesus' way? WHy else get angry? Isn't it because I think complaining, exasperation, resentment will pound me up into the full life I really want? When I choose-and it is a choice-to crush joy with bitterness, am I not purposefully choosing to take the way of the Prince of Darkness? Choosing the angry way of Lucifer because I think it is more effective-more expedient-than giving thanks?

• There was human goodness in the world, she thought-all caught up with desires and dreams, regrets and bitterness, resentments and power, but it was there.

• A flash of resentment. It's hard enough being alive, trying to survive in the world and find your place in it, to do the things you need to do to get by, without wondering if the thing you just did, whatever it was, was worth someone having...if not died, then having given up her life. It wasn't fair. "Life's not fair," said Ginnie, as if I had spoken aloud.

  Neil Gaiman

• Most people prefer to think that their resentment is entirely the fault of the person they resent, and that twisted logic seems to make sense in their minds. But it makes no sense to me at all... But it's a popular point of view. Probably because it's so much easier. It relieves you of the burden of any and all self-examination. (Nathan to Nat)

• No creo que sea tan sencillo. Algunas personas nunca observan nada, la vida simplemente les sucede. Se las arreglan con poco más que una especie de tonta persistencia, y se resisten con ira y resentimiento a cualquier cosa que pueda sacarlos de esa falsa serenidad.

• A menudo se ha dicho que el poder corrompe. Pero quizá sea igualmente importante darse cuenta de que la debilidad también corrompe. El poder corrompe a unos pocos, mientras que la debilidad corrompe a muchos. El odio, la malicia, la grosería, la intolerancia y la sospecha son los defectos de la debilidad. El resentimiento de los débiles no nace de ninguna injusticia cometida contra ellos, sino de su sentimiento de incapacidad e impotencia. No podemos ganar a los débiles compartiendo nuestra riqueza con ellos. Sienten nuestra generosidad como una opresión.

• It was the sibling thing, I suppose. I was fascinated by the intricate tangle of love and duty and resentment that tied them together. The glances they exchanged; the complicated balance of power established over decades; the games I would never play with rules I would never fully understand. And perhaps that was key: they were such a natural group that they made me feel remarkably singular by comparison. To watch them together was to know strongly, painfully, all that I'd been missing.

• I am alone. I am here. No one is watching me. In these hours of silence that I cherish, I talk to myself and reflect. That past, entrenched in time, motionless and infinite, has vanished onto thin air. None of it remains. Why, therefore, am I hurting so much? Why did I bring back with me this nameless pain? I followed the path I set for myself, and I have forgiven. I do not want to be chained to hatred or resentment. I want to have the right to live in peace.

• In other words, it was a struggle with himself. And the product of that struggle: anger, bitterness, resentment, envy or transformation, aspiration, hope, decency..the product of that struggle is the quality of your life and the nature of your soul.

• A medida que profundizamos en este tema del perdón, debemos estar preparados para abrirnos y discutir las cosas que nos molestan antes de que escalen a un nivel de crisis. Debemos examinar nuestras luchas con el perdón en las que no hay ofensas manifiestas o traiciones descaradas. Estoy convencido de que las semillas del resentimiento echan raíces en las frustraciones silenciosas que nunca se discuten. Los demás no pueden leer nuestras mentes -¡ni nuestras palmas!- y por eso tenemos lenguas para hablar.

• ...aquí también perdonar no significa excusar. Mucha gente cree que sí. Piensan que si les pides que perdonen a alguien que les ha engañado o intimidado estás intentando hacer ver que realmente no hubo engaño ni intimidación. Pero si fuera así, no habría nada que perdonar. (Esto no significa que tengas que creerte necesariamente su siguiente promesa. Sí significa que debes esforzarte al máximo por matar todo atisbo de resentimiento en tu propio corazón, todo deseo de humillarle o herirle o de pagarle).

  C. S. Lewis
