This month topic is outstanding because is a talk that will actually bring healing to a wounded heart, talking on resentment is not a childish topic, wow, I love this topic; resentment is actually a great weakness in the life of an individual because it will always limit ones abilities.

To harbour resentment is not to let go of offense that some one done to you, it's is better to forgive an let go of the offense so you can have a free mind each time you see the person that offended you, in holding the offense, you can't progress because each time you remember that person who offended you, you become angry and when one is angry whatever he or she does can't be done well.

I remember some years back, then I stayed in a rented apartment, I had a neighbour who always comes to my wife and begin talking about some person that are also living in the same compound with us, I will always tell my wife to be careful with that woman, I hate people that really talk about people behind there back.

One day she came and told my wife that this is what this woman is doing, each time you pay your light bill, the woman collecting the money used to collect more money from you then the rest, the rest of them are from the other religion, that means she is using your money to help others, she also tell her that each time you are inside room with your husband mostly at night you will be acting like a child when you are making love with him, when my wife told me what happened, I was so furious because I don't like intruding into people afair.

I tried to calm myself, because this neighbor of always received help from us, I cut up all the help the use to received from me, I stopped talking with them and I was seriously offended because this neighbor of mine always fight at night with her husband hitting the wall to our room, she will be beating her husband, the man himself will come and tell us how his wife has been beating him each night, yet we never let anyone know about there secret, what I did is that I only withdraw myself from them and I never want to set my eyes on them.
Each time they are outside even if I want to go out I don't want to see them, so I will stay inside just to avoid them, this continues for almost a month, when the understand that something is wrong, the came to my wife because they can't meet me due to the kind of person I am; they met her and asked her what happened.

Then my wife explain everything to them then, the all apologize to us but yet our relationship couldn't be restored as we are before because already there is a bridge made.

What I did to avoid resentment

I always set out time to pray for those that offended me, I don't even let them know what they did to me, each time I start praying for my offenders I instantly begin to have love for them, that is my antidote for resentment.

Thanks for your time
