Considering the importance of resentment in our lives, and the damage it does, it receives scant attention from psychiatrists and psychologists.

A walk through the storage facility of the community museum where I worked might easily have convinced you that people in the past wore only wedding dresses, carried silver candlesticks, and played with porcelain dolls.

Let us not be bitter about the past, but let us keep our eyes firmly on the future.
