Letting Go Of Resentment (Stoic & Buddhist perspectives)

  • Very recently, life taught me another lesson about resentment. And that letting go of resentment is actually a lot easier than the mind makes us believe. I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned, accompanied by a Stoic as well as Buddhist perspective. Some (useless) trivia: the place in 0:19 is the same place as in 3:21, but exactly 6 months and 5 days a part. What a complete metamorphosis, right?

      @Whitecranemaster1 5 лет назад +31

      You are so correct! Sadly, because one can not change the heart of others, our feeling of resentment can again arise because of their reaction / actions directed towards us. It a circle that sometimes is very hard to break free from.

      ​@Richard Tan Although I know what you're saying, are you conveying an opposite message to this video? Not seeking argument just clarification....
      The point here seems to be that between the ethical approach of the Stoics and Loving Kindness (Metta) of Buddhists, the approach to dealing with 'resentment' is to beyond it. Not to deal with it "head on" as you say. To quote: "Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die!"

    • @motoboxg457
      @motoboxg457 4 года назад +17

      @Richard Tan This assumes the other person cares. Resentment only grows when you confront it head on just to find out the magnitude of the other person's arrogance.

So you still have that same potential - plus the wisdom, from experience, to use it well. Go for it! The only thing that’s stopping you is chaining yourself to the past. It’s over. Use it like it used you! I promise you, it works. Peace my fellow human xxx

      I find that saying offensive. It's not a nice thing to say to a person who is going through feelings of resentment. It is telling them that they are ridiculous to feel the way they are feeling. You might as well rephrase it and say, "How ridiculous you are to drink poison and think someone else will die". It also implies that you want to harm the person who harmed you. This can make the person feel as if they are being called revengeful. Resentment doesn't necessarily mean that you wish harm on the person who caused it. Resentment is often more complicated than a single emotion or feeling. For example, a person feeling resentment can feel anger, guilt, loss of trust and more. Sometimes, those feelings need to be untangled and addressed (in a safe environment) and not suppressed. If resentment is suppressed, it can always resurface. The danger of suppressing resentment is that the person might lash out at an innocent person or use alcohol and drugs to cope.

      @@imranhuddin I personally try to let go of resentment by keeping myself somewhat busy. Whether that includes cooking, learning new things, talking to friends and family, helping people, or working, those things take your mind off the person or thing you resent. Then at the end of the day you realize that person is actually quite a trivial existence, and it's not worth continuing to hate them. Writing also helps to sort out your feelings. I personally am trying to redevelop my resentment and anger into something more rational that can be used to fight against broader ideas or movements that could potentially harm people rather than a random person who doesn't mean much. Not to get political, but in my own country, an alt-right movement has been growing and I hope to use my 'darker emotions' to create convincing arguments and videos that will de-legitimize them. I believe resentment transformed into a more humane form of anger can be used for good, as long as you don't neglect your other lighter feelings, like love and happiness, in the process and keep violence as your very last resort and never jump to it immediately. I hope this helps, comrade❤

      Resentment is what caused growth in me, it made me see what humans really are, so no i'm not letting go of my reminders, and yes i am preparing, i'm capable of shutting my emotions down now, and at very least severally dampening its effects.I think you are confusing Resentment with Self-Pity, when it's actually wrath caused by feeling of deep hurt, it's a catalyst for change not anchor.

      I like the way you put it . I have that issue and it’s not all the time but choosing your battles wisely makes sense . Being resentful is painful to the soul but so is trying to justify your resentment to the sibling who caused the injury especially when it’s met with denial so no point really to speak up for oneself in truth when it doesn’t change anything really but cause more injury . It’s confusing for me . I like the idea of letting go of it .

Dishoning toxic people is not unusual in life, but is often seen as a taboo or even immoral to do for family members...

    Unfortunately, I find the bond with animals more rewarding than humans. And don’t they know it.
    I don’t know whether they can see me or feel me .
    They bring out the gentleness if I pass them on the street as if I have known them for years
    Instead of seconds-?.

      @rockchick0367 4 года назад +8

      Bob Younger same! I’m always moved by animals. I always try to figure out what they are thinking/feeling. I also tend to worry too much about them if I come across a stray or wild animal that need help. People don’t nearly affect me the same way.

      Well it really depends what humans. For me it's well mostly with humans but hey i also enjoy the bond with animals as well. It's really quite easier to form with animals because really unless we're being bad to them they never really think bad of us to be honest. I'm sure when you're petting them they also feel somekind of bond too (at least it applies to dogs).

    • @joannaedwards6325
      @joannaedwards6325 3 года назад +1

      imo the reason we find it easier to feel positive to our pets rather than the humans in our lives is because animals never let us down or betray us. Animals are free of the ugly traits ppl have.
      We, in turn, have no resentments or other negative feelings toward the animals. Ppl who morn the death of a beloved pet know that losing them is so much harder than morning a human.

    Great wisdom on this one, and timely too. My interpretation of the end : "careful examination can only occur after healthy detachment from the problem has occurred. That will ensure a clear perspective."
    This truly helped me at a time where I needed to resolve a big conflict with a family member that was causing me resentment. I move away tomorrow, on sub-optimal terms, and they are a very passive person. I feel better about waiting and revising this after I've had time to detach healthily and gain a clearer perspective. Thank you OP

    Einzelgänger, I found your channel years ago when I first started my journey into deep self discovery and enlightenment.
    Over the years, I’ve gone down rabbit holes of other introspective channels and resources but I’ve come back to your channel today, and it genuinely gave me a feeling of “home”.
    Thank you so much for sharing with the world your insights and for being human about it.
    I, too, am just a regular person trying to figure life and myself out. When we have blunders, it just means we’re human but the best thing about being human is that we have the gift of being able to choose to pick ourselves back up.
    I think that perhaps resentment comes from wanting to protect ourselves from being injured- especially when it’s an injury that’s happened repeatedly (from more than one person). Additionally, it could also be that we resent ourselves for allowing said injury to continuously happen. Either way, when we consider forgiving others and letting go, I’m finding it helpful in my current situation to apply that same compassion to myself. A) it’s an act of self love but B) it’s helping me realize how much I’m probably projecting onto the other person and that in itself is helping me to find more compassion for them and making it easier for me to let go 🙏🏽✌🏽

    Thanks for this, I am not a young man and have meditated in one form or other for decades. I had felt some resentment towards a family member about 10 years ago and worked hard to let it go, thankfully after much reflection and much meditation it did indeed go. However, recently lifes events have started to play out similar to what they were 10 years ago... Or so I believed/ imagined and resentment has visited me as fresh as a daisy and as powerful as ever. I thought I had transcended resentment 😂😂 silly me, I should have know better. It's so destructive and a really horrible mental and physical feeling. So now I have to hold it and care for it and treat it well. Another journey with one of the worst feelings.

      Same here, but remember this. They will continue to live their lives and will eventually pass, but the anger will continue to live on if you let it. Do your best to let go and when you're at a safe position in life let them know how you feel. How they react is on them but at least they will know. Then establish boundaries. Distance yourself but still be cordial. This has helped me, both of my parents were verbally abusive growing up but this helped me heal.

    I value the time and effort you took to share your experiences and knowledge with the world. It's funny how we tend to think our problems are unique when in reality they're pretty common. I find it's too much of a wasteful investment for me to hold grudges against toxic people who are related to me by blood. However I am still guilty of doing it and being aware of it. I have trouble integrating stoicism, especially when people who are related to me turned out to be relentless enemies. It's unfair and very real, because I have never even thought about wishing something bad for them before discovering how toxic they've been up until now. I needed to hear this: holding grudges is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
