"Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
- Carrie Fisher

Resentment is the weakest human flaw! It clings to the past, and no matter how horrific that past may be, resentment poisons the present and future. Resentment wants vindication, settling “debts,” but its corrosive nature can’t allow new light into its dark corners to inform or forgive. Be truthful about suffering; share your past and honor heroes who fought for better times. But don’t poison the wrong person; you!
