Resentment.

How does someone genuinely let go of resentment towards someone? Really. I can't just do it even if I consciously forgive the person, the resentment doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't matter how long it's been or what I do, it just goes nowhere.

I truly want to know how someone just does it. It's no surprise that this person is mainly me but even with other people, when I'm deeply hurt, the resentment always sticks. Nothing I read online makes sense to me. It feels like telling someone who's color blind to just see the colors to solve his problem. I can't comprehend it.

It's very hard. I wish I knew the secret too.

you can’t explain red or green to anyone who’s never seen them. how do you begin? Then there’s semiotics and what is red to some people is blue…

love and understanding that’s all I know. it will go far but there’s no real total forgiveness or loss of grudge. I guess getting to the point where you’re able to forget. one of the hardest things to do. Just not care.

I reallywish I knew the answer to this question. I hold so much resentment for a few certain people that it controls my life. I don't think if they came face to face with me and apologized I could end the resentment. They say to forgive them even if they never say they are sorry sets us free from the resentment and anger but I haven't been able to do that. I hope you find the answer.
