“All the seemingly positive valuations and judgments of ressentiment are hidden devaluations and negations.”
“Thus ressentiment becomes the constituent principle of want of character, which from utter wretchedness tries to sneak itself a position, all the time safeguarding itself by conceding that it is less than nothing. The ressentiment which results from want of character can never understand that eminent distinction really is distinction. Neither does it understand itself by recognizing distinction negatively (as in the case of ostracism) but wants to drag it down, wants to belittle it so that it really ceases to be distinguished. And ressentiment not only defends itself against all existing forms of distinction but against that which is still to come.The ressentiment which is establishing itself is the process of levelling.”
“Be positive at all times! Leave out the negatives.”
“Judgment is a negative frequency.”
“From all negative situations is the potential for a positive outcome.”
“It is an unnecessary burden to make negative judgmental assumptions about others. We are all on a journey.”
