Detaching Resentment

I just read an interesting line from a very popular expert on stress, he said, stress is usually not the result of the situation, but resenting the situation – in other words, if you saw someone hurting another person in a movie, you wouldn’t get angry, because it wouldn’t be real, but when you get hurt in real life, it’s not the pain you get angry at, but the injustice; but that’s the entire purpose, for people who themselves have been hurt are looking to demean others so they don’t feel as bad about their own pain (jealousy) so he suggests, try to observe any resentful moments in a detached manner and watch the resentment fade.
