Resentment
Resentment (also called
ranklement or
bitterness), not classified among
Paul Ekman's six basic emotions of
surprise,
disgust,
happiness,
sadness,
anger, and
fear, is the
foundation of
hatred. Resentment comprises the three basic emotions of
disgust,
sadness and
surprise -the
perception of
injustice. Resentment is a mixture of
disappointment,
anger, and
fear. As the
surprise of
injustice becomes less frequent, so too does
anger and
fear fade -leaving
disappointment as the predominant
emotion. So, to the extent perceived
disgust and
sadness remain, so too does the level of
disappointment remain.
