Better / Bitter Person

Well, there is this phrase that some of my closest family would use everytime we faces problems/hiccups/heartache in our life that simply would not go away. The phrase goes something like this - " Problems/troubles/ are challenges in our life and if we manage to overcome it, we would become a better person". I am not saying that it is wrong to say that. Sometimes or maybe most of the time - it is true. But there is also time when one just simply had enough AND simply cannot be bothered about it. Instead of becoming a better person, one would turn up to be a 'bitter' person. Bitter about life, bitter about people, and even bitter about themselves. Why? Because they simply had ENOUGH.

I cannot blame them sometimes. But not to say that it is a good move, neither. It is just that I can comprehend what they are going through. Think of it as a vacation - sometimes we desperately need one for our own good. So, be bitter ... but still, after sometime - trace back your steps. Take a deep breath and see the world with your newly found 'eyesight'.Hopefully this time around, the world that we see, is a much better one than before.

So, I would like to announce to the whole world - be bitter in order to become better ... later.
