A train wreck than never ends

Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others,

to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly.

Lawrence G. Lovasik

Overcoming resentment does not mean there is no emotional fall out, it means that on a certain level we do not demand justice, but give mercy. To constantly give in to resentment is a train wreck that never ends, allowing the buttons that others push (often unconsciously) to grow in number and intensity. It scatters us, tires us out, and can make us very unpleasant to be around. To speak ones mind is not the same as giving in to resentment…though one can be confused for the other.
