Wow. I am struggling with resentment right now. It's my own fault because of a situation I got involved with. I think sometimes about "vengeance is mine, saith the lord." That is a bible verse and I am not religious at all but that one helps me. A few months ago on another forum, someone was very, very rude to me, based on a rumor that had been spread about me by someone on there, which was a lie. This person was a friend of the rumor-spreader, and they bought it completely. I was online on that forum the other night, and their friend, who had originally lied about me went ballistic on them, accused them of doing things that from my own knowledge just as an observer I knew were not possible. It was so strange to watch, this woman that had been so rude to me, being really verbally assaulted by this man that she had been rude to me out of loyalty to. It just made me realize, once again, why the thing about praying for those against whom I hold resentments to is so vital. Because God or higher power will take care of it in due time, (though not in 'my' time) and in the meanwhile I'm to occupy myself with my own life and be content and have faith, and not worry about seeking vengeance or revenge on people, as that only screws up my own karma and clouds my whole existence with negativity. The prayer for people I resent is like a cross or garlic held up to a vampire, because if I let the vampire in he will suck my blood out of me, for sure.
