The Psychology of Resentment

27/02/2024 By Admin Comment Closed

The Psychology of Resentment Episode 120 The Meaning of Resentment Resentment is a natural reaction to unfair or difficult events and to the actions of others. It consists of various experiences, most often of pain and anger, and feelings of guilt, shame, or fear can be mixed with them. If someone declares that he does not know how to be offended, this means one of two things: either it is not true, or the person does not have a close relationship with anyone. People are not offended by strangers; resentment appears in meaningful relationships. KEY POINTS The words people use for emotions influence the ways they think about emotions. The word "resentment" has negative connotations that can make legitimate anger seem unreasonable. Calling anger resentment turns potential social failings to individual ones. Merriam-Webster defines this complex emotion as “a feeling of indignant displeasure or persistent ill will at something regarded as a wrong, insult, or injury.” Etymologically, “resent” has come to English from French and, originally, from...

SGUK Impact of Archewell Foundation – A Series – Part 4 Harvest Home and The Love Land Foundation Episode 100 Introduction Hello everyone, this podcast is continuing our series of looking at community organisations that the Archewell Foundation have assisted over the last 3+ years, and organisations who Archewell Foundation have partnered with. The aim of this series is to highlight the impact of the work being done day in day out, behind the scenes, without fuss. People just out here on these streets, uplifting others in a variety of ways. For a company so young in its lifespan, Archewell has achieved so much, but you never see those who should be looking at the societal group that taxpayers have to fund with no say in whether or not that is what they want to do, ever writing articles or discussing Archewell business in anything but negative rhethoric. UK Media, ie tabloids owned by people who live and pay taxes outside of the UK, have...

Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye

Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye Episode: 96 Introduction This podcast and the SGUK Channel moving forward, relates to Harry & Meghan focusing on their life and Foundation, as opposed to flying back and forth to the UK to be disrespected each time. Harry stated that they are moving forward not looking back. I publicised a few weeks ago that this channel will be doing the same. I am not going to devote large scale sections of my podcast making reference to the BRF in articles or podcasts. That only serves to keep them relevant. I don’t react to the regular nonsense publicised deliberately to get a reaction. They have followers to do that – I do not see our role to do the same. If their followers don’t do that then that is a BRF family problem not ours. H&M have no reason to play the game of ‘invite but no invite and then back to invite’ etc. That is...

British Royal Family and The Brexit Vote – The Same Business Model

25/04/2023 By Admin Comment Closed

BRF and Brexit Vote – Same Business Model SGUK Ep 89 On 23rd June 2016, the UK Referendum on European Membership took place in the UK and Gibralter, commonly referred to the European Referendum or the Brexit Referendum. The vote resulted in 51.9% of the votes cast were I favour of leaving the EU. The referendum itself was not legally binding but the government of the day decided to implement the result – the wish of the people etc. In October 2016 tabloids began to publish articles about Meghan and Harry’s relationship and that it appeared that Harry was “besotted” with Meghan. The tabloids claimed their information came from reliable sources – their usual MO. The articles were far from complimentary, and it was evident that the tabloids in their usual sleazy style went digging for as much information as possible. It was also clear that they had decided looking for salacious news would attract more attention than looking for positive news about...

A 40 Year Relationship Between Royal Family & Royal Rota – Time Up

A 40 Year Symbiotic Relationship – Time Up Episode 82 The Invisible Contract Between The British Royal Family and the Tabloid Media via the Royal Rota Throughout all 3 sections of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, there were two main themes or threads running through every chapter. Every incident or action or words spoken which resulted in a negative outcome, always featured either someone or people within the Royal Family (sometimes via staff members, but all of whom would have been sanctioned to act that way by their particular lead Royal) or via the UK Tabloid Media. Across all the tabloids, there are designated staff who only cover The Royal Family, and no other news within the UK, and are known as the Royal Rota. Some members of the Royal Rota are seen or heard of now and then, but there is clearly a clique that has formed over the years, and who are covering the Royals every day of every year; or rather...

Come in Royal Rota – Your Time is Up

Come In Royal Rota – Your Time is Up SGUK Episode 81 Introduction In order to give context as to how and why some people in powerful positions thought it would be a good idea to have a large group of people who solely reported on the UK Royal Family and no one else, this podcast explore the main reasons why the UK and USA have tabloids but how and why the UK decided to go to extremes in order to get a story and sometimes according to one professional, be prepared to “violate laws”. All of these people, officially referred to as journalists, work for a tabloid newspaper, and between the group chosen by Editors of said tabloids, but the British Royal Family having the final say so, as to whether or not they are considered the type of people who will fit in with the Royal Family, gives you some idea of the type of coverage required/preferred by the Monarch...

I Have A Dream

Martin Luther King JR Hello Everyone, Ivy here, Todays podcast is a little different to the usual style. At the heart of the podcast is the famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr in 1963, which followed on 100 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves. When Martin Luther King climbed the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC to describe his vision of America. More than 200,000 people (black and white) came to listen. I quote from one publication (included in the Reference Sources below):- “they came by plane, by car, by bus, by train and by foot. They came to Washington to demand equal rights for black people, and the dream that they heard on the steps of the Monument became the dream of a generation.” The original speech that Martin Luther King intended to give was meant to be quite short, but he was asked by another speaker on the day, to talk...

Remembrance / Veterans Day 11th November 2021 & 2020

Remembering Veterans Past and Present USA Treating Prince Harry with Respect Unlike the UK on Remembrance Day 2020 Context This piece is centred on the disgusting and offensive behaviour by UK tabloid press, no doubt on behalf of their Masters, the British Royal Family, on Remembrance Sunday 2020. Abhorrent to far more UK residents than the Royal Family or their Media friends anticipated, and the backlash was swift – both within and external to the UK. I see no point in attempting to describe the role of the UK media tabloids, Royal Reporters in particular, in any other way than they are the Propaganda arm of UK Monarchy. Everyone knows of propaganda activities around the world and the regimes that utilised that approach to achieve certain beliefs and modes of behaviour. In modern times it appears to be used for the self protection of designated groups who are not under siege due to warfare or strife, but more to preserve a...

Who’s Sorry Now?

Who’s Sorry Now? Definitely Not The Sussexes Episode 8 It is important for a nation to realise that demographic changes affect all areas of human activity:- economic, social, cultural and political. All forward thinking businesses research, develop and build their business plans based essentially on those 4 areas listed above. Any business that plans activities outside those areas, is destined to fail at some point in the future. Not everything can be predicted but most things can be if policy makers and strategy specialists follow and interpret trends in each of those areas. Where things happen that could not be foreseen, then the ability and speed of flexibility comes into play. The British Royal Family refers to itself as The Firm, not a family, yet it does not operate in any shape or form like a well run business. Times have changed, and businesses that remain in business by loyal customers, or who remained in a time warp together, are becoming few and...
