    2. The state of holding something in the mind as a subject of
    contemplation, or of being inclined to reflect upon
    something; a state of consciousness; conviction; feeling;

    Syn: Anger; irritation; vexation; displeasure; grudge;
    indignation; choler; gall; ire; wrath; rage; fury.

    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}.

    Anger is like
    A full-hot horse, who being allowed his way,
    Self-mettle tires him. --Shak.

    Or exercise their spite in human woe? --Dryden.
