I loved this piece. The value is in the abstract concepts NOT in specific cases people are posting.

It is about the deliberate management over one's own internal state which is the only thing one has true control over.

Resentment, especially so-called justified-resentment literally steals from other parts of my life experience that are not connected in any way to the person, place, thing or situation that I am feeling resentment towards.

It is ultimately a choice but not an easy or obvious choice.

Every decision I ever make no matter how trivial it seems, has an associated sacrifice connected to it. Much of the time I want to think and act as if this were not the case.
