Being angry or prideful get’s you nowhere in life. Even the bible speaks of pride:

When pride comes, then comes dishonor, but with the humble is wisdom.- Proverbs 11:2

A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.-
Proverbs 29:23

In my personal experiences, holding any sort of resentment or anger toward any other person can only hold me back. This is why so often you may see people in your life that feel stuck and unable to progress. Holding resentment is another way of saying I’m NOT over it. Letting go is showing that you are. I know at times it feels so much easier to just be mad at someone. Maybe they let you down, broke your heart, backstabbed you, whatever. Generally, feeling angry feels like the easiest way out at the time but in the long run you end up hurting yourself more than just dealing with the cards you were dealt. And yes, allowing for the pain to settle.Pride also has a lot to do with anger. I am guilty of holding a bit too much pride myself and trust me, it got me nowhere. But once I realized that the only person hurting me was me, I had no choice but to simply let go!!!I was lying on my bed one night and said to myself, ‘Every day I go on resenting this person, I’ve let this person take a part of me again and again. Every day wasted is another day lost. I have to accept what has happened and learn to move on.’ And I have. And it feels great!I guess that is why some of my friends tell me that I have mastered the breakup scene and managed to remain friends or at least civilly acquainted with any man I’ve dated. I just came to terms with the fact that every morning I woke up angry only proved to me how much I still gave a shit that I was a victim and that wasn’t cool. My advice to those who are going thru the same: Don’t suppress the pain with your resentful mind. The sooner you with drawl the sooner you check out and move on! 

Much love,
