How can we prevent the building up of resentment?

Heron, First you need to understand who you are.
Many have the idea that their value is determined by the opinions of others. This is not the case. Your value was determined by something else a very long time ago, and nothing that anyone else says or thinks about you can change this truth in any way. It works like this.
Once God had a beautiful idea, an idea that he thought was so lovely, so perfect that he did not want to be without it. God loved this idea that he had so much that she thought a part of herself to have enough individuality to see it’s self as separate, as a unit, as an individual as you. God did this so that he might have you to love and so that she might have you to love her. This is the only truth of you and it will never change. Noting that anyone else says or thinks can change this truth of you in any way. Anyone who disagrees with this opinion God has of you is simply confused. You see God is your dearest friend, your closest companion. Others may have told you many things about God, but this is the first time you have heard the truth.
Understand how special this makes each and every one of us to God. This is why God loves each and every one of us unconditionally. Unconditional means no conditions are necessary. No hoops that we need to jump through to keep God loving us. No silly ideas of judgment or punishment or hell, just love.
The unkind comments of others need to be seen for what they are. These sounds that people make that hurt our feelings are the noises that the confused make because they cannot see this truth about those around them. Most often this is because they cannot believe this could be the truth about them. It all boils down to this heron. You need to decide, Does it really matter what the confused think?
This is what God means to me. This is perfect faith in god’s love for us. Anything else is halfhearted partial faith. You really need to decide if you really have faith in God, or if you just kind of have a little faith in God. The later is what most people have.
Love and blessings

Number uno. Always consider the source before reacting. Once you have reacted in a argumentative way then you have lost your edge. Insults are generally a product of a deep inferior complex. The reason that one would insult another person is to feel they are in some way superior. Why would someone have that need? It can also be a habit of some people to think they can grab an edge if they can make you feel like you are less of a human then they are. It is one of the most demoniac attacks that can come to me because I hate it when people do that. I know we are all equal under God. Some might shine in one area and others may shine in another. My suggestion is to walk away from people or relationships that attack your self esteem. You are a beautiful person , made in the image of GOD. If you don't have a lot of knowledge in one area, that does not make you stupid. Someplace inside of you God has placed a talent that is better, and totally suited to you. When you find out that talent, or talents, focus on them, and you will shine like any other star in the sky and it will be your personnel gift to the World. Then when you are a star, don't talk down to others.

Love covers a multitude of sins.. so be filled with love; Try to see the real question beyond the insult. And sometimes you just have to turn your back on it, walk away from it. Silence speaks volumes at times, so be quick to hear and slow to speak. Oh, and most the time, do not insult back. "Do to others as you would have them do to you"

What is Unspiritual in it to give a fitting reply to the insult and be finished with it.

First, you have to care what the person thinks about you in order to be insulted.

you might be able to hide it but you won't prevent it that would be unnatural but a realist view of the intelligence that generated it should help

The easieste way..... Have Confidence -- and IGNORE it. It's so simple and easy.... and the best way. Excuse my 'french,' but sometimes you just have to say, "F**CK IT." ..... and trust me, sometimes, saying that -- feels so good.... it's liberating. Try it - and see how you feel. But when you say it -- you gotta own it -- believe it.....and fo'get 'bout it. (cheesy to say 'fo-get 'bout it, but sometimes, those things carry weight...and this is one of those times love!)
