Morbid: adj
1. interested in gruesome subjects: showing a strong interest in unpleasant or gloomy subjects such as death, murder, or accidents
2. grisly: inspiring disgust or horror (Encarta)
When we reflect morbidly on the past we are engaging in mental grave robbing. Resentments are persistent things, a lot like zombies. No matter what we do, until a zombie is dealt with, typically by shooting them in the head, they will keep coming back inflicting more havoc and much like zombies resentments move slowly but steadily. It starts when we begin rehashing an old hurt, infusing it with new life, often without even remembering how we started down this path of thought in the first place. This mental grave robbing or morbid reflection happens when we backtrack on forgiveness, our own or others, it matters not. Zombies never have our best interests in mind, in fact they just want to eat our brains. Morbid reflection does exactly the same thing, except it is from the inside out.
To be free of morbid reflection we must forgive, in thought and deed those who have trespassed against us. Additionally we must forgive ourselves for all our trespasses, real and imagined. As the Great Carpenter taught… let the dead bury the dead (Matthew 8:22), leave resentments and old hurts in the peaceful ground of forgiveness, lest we unearth a morbid reflection zombie and we all know how hard they are to evict once they take up residence.
