Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
“A therapist once said to me, “If you face the choice between feeling guilt and resentment, choose the guilt every time.” It is wisdom I have passed on to many others since. If a refusal saddles you with guilt, while consent leaves resentment in its wake, opt for the guilt.
Resentment is soul suicide.

Great advice, and I think it applies to anything, not just refusals. Resentment is a very wicked evil, rooted in an ego which is cunning, baffling, and powerful. It can twist a soul* into eternal agony, not just kill it.
*(a “soul” in the figurative sense, not the Biblical one :) )

Resentment is a waste of time. Simply take revenge, if nothing else except the revenge of living better than whoever pissed you off to begin with.
