you didn't know alcohol poisons the liver and the kidneys. (OK, I admit it, I'm being flippant on Friday.) But at least the drinks briefly give rise to some pleasure. Resentment is a psychological poison but it is infinitely more dangerous. Even a small amount can do irreparable harm to our peace of mind and, perhaps more crucially, to our judgement. Often, people who experience resentment become drunk on it without even realising that this has happened.
If you are starting to resent something, and you can't change it, you have to apply the only known antidote - and find a way to love it.
