Have you ever felt hurt, snubbed, or slighted?
Have you ever felt like someone had injured you emotionally?
Here is a thought; the reason you feel that way has at least as much to do with your perceptions as with their actions or intentions...
That is (at least to me) a troubling thought.
...at least to the selfish part of me!
====================
Think about it, someone can step on your toes and you can burn with resentment, or brush it off with a laugh. It has a lot to do with your perceptions of whether what they did was intentional or not, or other such factors...
This means we have a lot more control over our alienation, anger, and indignation than we might otherwise think...
...and so it means we have a lot less legitimacy to our claims for revenge!
