"Resentment is allowing someone to live rent-free in a room in your head," says Roger Ebert on his blog, "....I studiously avoid looking at myself in a mirror. It would not be productive. If we think we have physical imperfections, obsessing about them is only destructive. Low self-esteem involves imagining the worst that other people can think about you. That means they're living upstairs in the rent-free room."
