I tend to think that over time, everything in life becomes Bitter-Sweet.. a lot like a glass that's half-full and half-empty (at the same time).
Sometimes the sweet part of something is over-emphasized, and sometimes the bitter part of that same thing is over-emphasized, but everything that is Sweet has a Bitter side, and everything that is Bitter, has a Sweet side.
I am not sure if anyone can relate to this, but a lot of my earlier hardship in life, was caused by chasing the sweeter things in life (i.e. Happiness, Security & Love) while expecting that I could completely get rid of the bitter aspects of life - it doesn't work, and I think all of mankind would be better off if everyone knew this.
A balanced life that is often bittersweet, is the absolute best case scenario in life, and anything and everything else, is just a temporary experience.
Life is a mixture of good & bad experiences, see it for what it is:
- Bitter-Sweet
NOTE: I think this is what I was originally trying to say in my post, The Pursuit of Happiness | Better than Happiness but I was able to write it here in a simple format. @galenkp and @glenalbrethsen also gave me some ideas based on their work.
Thank you for reading this 🙄✌
