Darius Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 A new YouTube video of mine on the phenomenon of "holding a grudge."
DCLugi Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Good point. It gets messier when the bear tells us it's not hungry and then find that it's not true. The bear has to prove that it's no longer a threat before we can trust it. Of course if a bear is talking to you then that's a whole other set of problems:)
Matt D Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 A grudge is synonymous with feelings of resentment. In my experience resentment is usually unexpressed anger. It's ironic that those who tell you not to hold a grudge only ever do so after you have expressed your anger in some way--either directly or through ostracism. But because they likely have not expressed anger themselves they think it impossible, and thus view all ill will as grudges that we can only clench with white knuckles. Simply, they haven't experienced the liberating quality of anger.
