Something made me doubt myself for a second today if I have become a bitter person. I even needed to ask around to make sure. (Thanks, my trusted friends, for reassuring me.)
No I am not a bitter person. Despite the dark side of life and humanity I have seen, I am still full of hope and genuinely believe there is plenty of beauty and reasons for happiness in life. How can you call that bitter?
Yet, am I all sweet? I'd like myself to be ALL sweet, but realistically that could only happen if my entire life has been nothing but smooth sailing. And only if I never quite understood life in its entirety.
So what is the taste of life? I would say, it's bittersweet. It is not all sweet, but it is not all bitter either. Without the bitterness, you may not appreciate the sweetness as much. As a combination, it gives life a more complex flavor.
