lingis-resentment

Resentment secretes images that obscure your view of the present and distort your memory of the past. Resentment is a positive force of mendacity.

“A stranger is someone / who sits

very still at the kitchen table,

looks down at his knuckles, / thinks some day we will laugh about this, / doesn’t believe it.”

Anne Carson | “The Fall of Rome: A Traveller’s Guide”
