1. Bitterness is a part of life as an emotional human being. It’s just another flavor. It’s not wrong to feel certain ways. It can be unhealthy if it adversely impacts our lives. I cannot imagine eating bitter foods every single day but every once in a while I can hold in high regard what it does to the palate and my appreciation of sweetness. As in life bitter experiences can highlight wonderful experiences; it is all in the way we choose to internalize and perceive it.

   Korean dramas seem the popular thing in Hawaii and it seems to bridge all races and creeds. I am not a fan but it seems that the bittersweet trials of life are a common core of the various series. I have had bittersweet experiences in life where I still feel the pain and bitterness and am still waiting for the sweetness. I think there is degrees of depth in every feeling and the depths of bitterness has an inverse time relation for the sweetness to develop.

   • I am bitter right now that the post button was a little to close for my fat fingers!

     Back to my thoughts…

     The popularity of Kdramas I think shows that at some level we appreciate those feelings but it can definitely take time. I embrace my bitterness because it is a part of who I am. To discount that is to discount the good that develops as a result.

     As I go through this life I have found my tastes change. As a younger version of myself I loved candy. At this stage of my life I find many candies to sweet and prefer the slight bitterness of 70% cacao. Take from that what you will.
