If so has this resentment caused any other problems?

All depends upon who it was and for what reason. If we are talking about my parents lying to me as a child about certain people existing or not at xmas time, it did make me be a better person, so no, I cannot say resentment.
If we are talking about work, I cannot see what good it does me to have people lie to me at all. If I ask a question, the only good in it for me is the truth, whether painful or not, since I can only get better or grow with the truth.
Also, what someone else's opinion of what is good for me may be WAY off (most likely is), so generally a lie then would be a lie.
So it would have to depend upon what the lie was and what good it was for me. So far the only ones I have ever caught lying to me where I can say it was for my own good were my parents and yes, while there still may be a tad bit of resentment, not too many problems. If it were at work, there would me major problems.

Anyone who believes that they are being lied to for their own good is a moron and deserves it!
No one cares about you or your good! THey do everything they do for themselves. It's called human nature. You must be very stupid I am afraid...

No, if it really was for my own good I never found out the truth and I'm happily insilated from the truth.

Not really because it was for your own good.

Maybe in the beginning, but then i realize that they were helping me and I usually thank them.

Puh-leeze. I know where you're going with this.
How is instigating terrorists "for my own good"?
