Resentment, Anger and Fear

The IP from my Fellowship on the Triangle of Self-Obsession says resentment is how I react to the past, anger is how I deal with my present and fear is how I feel when I think about the future.  There have been soooo many times I've been hopelessly trapped in that fucking triangle, that I watch very carefully for any of the three sides to show their presence.  I am much quicker now to kick down the singular side before it has a chance to find a partner to form an angled corner I can't get out of.  I can pretty much run smack into it now and say, "WTF?  Get out of my way so I can keep moving forward.", instead of panicking and sitting down to hope somebody else comes in to get me out.  Does that make sense or am I being obtuse? ;)
