On a completely different note, I thought I'd pen down something philosophical. Here are excerpts from an interesting article I was reading on bitterness:
"Bitterness comes from idealisation about how things ought to be. When there is no idealisation there is no reason to be bitter; but, generally, one grows up with some ideals...... The embittered mind does not contemplate.
The kind of mind that is disposed to contemplation is simple and uncomplicated. It sees things as they are; limited in nature - ever changing effects in an apparent creation not authored by this mind - a mind which also is part of creation. When this is clear, the apparent will give no occasion for creating ideals. Without ideals there will be no bitterness. When there is no bitterness, the mind abides, the teaching becomes clear, contemplation is natural. There is no will involved. Wherever the mind goes, there contemplation is."
- Swami Dayananda Saraswathi
