“He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.” – Ali ibn-Abi-Talib

When we harbor resentment, it matters little how many blessings we have in our lives, for that seed of hatred will spoil it all. It’s like the worms that cause us to discard the whole apple as inedible. Many of us put a great deal of time and effort into the things we cherish such as our health, prosperity and personal relationships, and realize only after we suffer regret that none of this will bring us true and lasting happiness if we allow even one person to take up residence as an enemy in our hearts.
