Dans la liste des sentiments les plus douloureux pour notre petit cœur sensible, la rancune occupe une place de choix. Difficile de décrire avec de simples mots ce sentiment d'amertume qui nous envahit après un préjudice ou une offense subie, sentiment souvent couplé d'un désir brûlant de vengeance. La langue française, dans toute l'originalité qu'on lui adore, a une expression pour ça : avoir une dent contre quelqu'un. On a quand même du mal à comprendre ce que vient faire la dent là-dedans. Du coup, on va remonter le temps.Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
