Bitterness, like someone said, is taking poison and thinking the other person will die from it. A subtle and silent destroyer, bitterness sickens and weakens in like manner as would be expected when the cells of a virulent pathogen is infused into the tissues of a healthy living being.
Oh how one wishes that bitter people would stop their own ‘gradual annihilation’
Bitterness is a product of untreated anger blended with pride and an attitude that does not forgive. Bitterness, when fully grown breeds wickedness. A bitter person, like an unbridled tongue, stops at nothing to cause harm.
Oh, how one prays that bitter people would desist from adding salt to the wounds we already experience in our world.
Bitter people have more enemies than friends. They are difficult to relate with and challenging to please. Unduly critical, fault-finding, separatist in their tendencies, bitter people are to be pitied because when they fall or fail, they are generally alone.
Oh how one cries that bitter people would see value in friendship, accept their own fallibility and cherish variance of opinion.
Bitter people mock grace; they find no reason why God should intervene in their ‘enemies’ situation. They waste their time and energy by constantly scheming and plotting of evil; their mind is filled with vengeful tactics.
Oh how bitter people should be reminded that God is kind, forgiving, gentle and compassionate.
