Today's Thought!
The moment you start to resent a person you become that person's slave. He or she controls your dreams, absorbs your digestion, robs you of your peace of mind and good will, and takes away the pleasure of your work.
A person you resent ruins your spirituality and nullifies your prayers. You cannon take a vacation without that person going along! He or she destroys your freedom of mind and house you wherever you go. There is no way to escae the person you resent.
That person is with you when you are awake and invades your privacy whenou sleep. That person is close beside you when you eat, when you drive your car, and when you are on the job.
Youcan never have efficiency or happiness. The prsn you resent influences even the tone of your voice. He or she requires you to take medicine for indigestion, headaches, and loss of energy. That person even steals your last moment of consciousness before you go to sleep.
So if you want to be a slave, harbor your resentments.
