Advices about resentment from the blog The Naked Soul.
1. Recall for a moment those people in your life whom you have decided to resent, write their names down on a piece of paper.
2. Recall the reasons that you resent these people, write these reason down, next to their names.
3. Think about the impact that your resentment is having on these people.
4. Think about the negative impact that these emotions of resentment are having on you.
5. Acknowledge to yourself that your feelings of resentment are not serving a useful, positive purpose for you or the universe in which you live.
6. Make a decision to let go of your resentment towards these people
7. Now, crumble up this piece of paper and throw it away! (symbolic of letting go of your resentment towards others).
Can’t.
I can forget but I really cannot forgive…

Thank-you for posting this exercise from my article on the Naked Soul.
Why can’t you forgive?
Forgivness is the key to your freedom. To not forgive is to imprision your soul.
Why can’t I forgive ?
I don’t know… Maybe I ask too much from others…
Maybe, you don’t ask enough of yourself.
Possible. You’re talking about compassion ?
