How Not To End Up Bitter and Resentful

I see so many people every day with so much anger. For all the venomous things they say it does not compare to the damage they are inflicting on themselves. There is a seduction that takes place with being bitter and resentful. A sense that we see what is wrong with the world and everyone else is blind to it. We cast ourselves as this victimized rebel who will never let anyone hurt them ever again. The irony comes when those same feelings turn inward and began to kill all the joy within. Negative emotions are just that. Negative. Negativity drains us of our passion for life and takes us off the path to self discovery. If you are a pessimist I encourage you practice every day to see good things in the world. Only with seeing the positive can you change the broken record of ill that pollutes your reality.
