Resentment
We rarely learn from pleasant experiences; it is the painful ones that teach us what to avoid and make us turn to others for help. They make us pray, and bring us closer to God. They sensitize us to others who suffer, so we can empathize and extend help wherever possible. Our character develops more as a result of painful experiences than of enjoyable ones. What growth would there be if we were always content? The human soul can survive only if it grows, and growth comes at the price of suffering. The things we resent the most may be those that give us our greatest growth.
