But I don't want to feel resentful

Nor shame, nor anger nor...

Oh boy.

I hear it all the time:

I don’t want to feel______

or

I don’t want to be_______

Message from reality?

I am at best indifferent to your needs and desires. You are insignificant to me.

Reality is a real jerk eh?

And, if you have your face in a beehive and don’t want to feel the pain of being stung? Realty doesn’t care. It just stings your face.

Again, reality is such a jackass.

Use the magic wand of denial as much as you want to fend off reality but eventually reality has the last laugh as the worms of reality crawl through what was left of our flesh, forever unable to deny the reality of human existence.

It’s like the old saying goes:

I fight reality, reality always wins.
