Usage : {
Resentment }, {
Anger }.
Anger is the broader term ,
denoting a keen sense of disapprobation (
usually with a desire to punish )
for whatever we feel to be wrong ,
whether directed toward ourselves or others .
Resentment is anger exicted by a sense of personal injury .
It is ,
etymologically ,
that reaction of the mind which we instinctively feel when we think ourselves wronged .
Pride and selfishness are apt to aggravate this feeling until it changes into a criminal animosity ;
and this is now the more common signification of the term .
Being founded in a sense of injury ,
this feeling is hard to be removed ;
and hence the expressions bitter or implacable resentment .
See {
Anger }.
