Okay, cool. So, Monday the 5th of August 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be Regret and Resentment. Now, one of my most recent observations is kind of that led me to think about what it means to be kind of like regretful and resentful. Like basically the
combination of those two feelings and the emotion and the state of mind and the condition that it basically brings about as a result of those two feelings mixed together into one. Now, it's crazy, you know, it's crazy to think about it really because, like
holding on to, let's say for example, like a certain negativity, holding on to a negativity to the point in which you now begin to define, you begin to associate and you begin to build ideas around that negativity in such a way that you effectively you are bound to this negativity or this negativity is the reason why X, Y and Z. What do I mean when I say that? It's like you know let's say for example like you didn't get that job that you wanted, maybe because on that particular day you missed a bus. Maybe on that particular day the person who was interviewing you wasn't the person that kind of like had your best interest at heart.
They completely looked over your achievements. Anything and everything that you can possibly associate with a certain situation that effectively through your own thought process created this kind of like negativity that you now began to associate all of your failures upon. And it just basically led me to now focus my understanding on this concept because it's kind of scary to think that there are many people and there could be many people including yourself, you could also be a person who could live your entire life kind of like holding
on to enough of these negativities and enough of these regrets, enough of these resentments to the point in which they have completely sapped, you know, they've completely voided, null and voided your happiness to a certain degree. Imagine, you know, kind of like getting to old age and the only thing that you have to talk about is how, you know, all of these different things were the reasons why you couldn't get the happiness that you wanted or kind of like get the fulfillment or the meaning that you wanted out of life. It’s wanted or kind of like get the fulfillment or the meaning that you wanted out of life. It's a bit scary.
