Bitternes is more devastating than betrayal

Betrayal is external. Bitterness is internal. Betrayal is something that others do to you. Bitterness is some you do to yourself.

Thousands survive betrayal easily. Very few can survive the current of bitterness.

Disloyalty is a product of an unthankful heart. Betrayal is usually the child of jealousy.

Everybody has experienced these tragic situation in their life. An unfaithful mate. An employee who slanders you behind your back. A boss who fires you without explanation. These things hurt. Deeply.

Eliminate any words of bitterness in every conversation. Do not remind others of your experience, unless it is to teach and encourage them to rise above their own hurts
