Resentments: Why Hurt Twice?
THE WORD "resentment" derives from a Latin root meaning to refeel--to feel again. Someone has wronged, obstructed, or wounded you, and in resenting it you refeel the injuries. You rehurt yourself. A person who bears a grudge is "like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand."
