Hugging Resentments

If you make excuses for failing, you do nothing but fail. Hugging resentments isn’t very productive, even if there’re justified. Gets to be one of those self-fulfilling prophecies. 

S. M. Stirling in “Island in the Sea of Time”

There are many times when resentments are justified, but instead of hurting the person who caused the problem, it only hurts the victim. The best way to fight these bullies is to show them that they don't affect you.
