Bitter But Happy
You are all the best out there, greetings from me who are in the same realm but different place!
The thing that I disliked the most since childhood was when I fell sick because of the effects of the disease that I felt would get worse with the burden of feelings and thoughts that would pierce inside of me. You know what that means? what I mean is that I'm going to be going through some of the bitterest times in life, not because it's bitter because of a sick feeling or anything else that drowns out life but because I'm going to suffer when I have to eat and swallow a medicine that tastes really BITTER. From what he said, you might be sick of hearing it, especially if your tongue is stuck with a bitter medicine that has no sweetness.
But one thing that made me the most happy after I took the bitter medicine for a few days was that my body condition began to recover and finally healed. The medicine tastes bitter but the ending will feel relieved.
How about life? who feel full of bitterness and can hardly enjoy happy days. There are so many problems that we may experience in life when harsh criticism, reprimand and advice make us lose confidence and lead to unhappy situations, try to reflect on what we do because of the advice and upbringing we receive even though we have to feel pain in our hearts. it might just be the medicine we have to take.
the bitterness of life teaches us to be stronger to face everything that lies ahead. Try to think about it, if our life only tastes sweet for a long time and we don't want bitterness, when the bitterness of life comes, our lives will escape because we are not used to the bitter things we will feel. We need a solid foundation so that we are immune in all things just as a house must have a strong foundation so that when storms and strong winds and heavy rains come, the house stands strong. That's how our life must have a strong foundation. Get in the habit of enjoying bitter things from the beginning of our lives so that when we experience them from the beginning, later on our steps will feel easy because we have experienced bitter things.
Most people and also including me who do not want to experience bitter things in life, when bitter things will approach then all kinds of efforts and efforts are made in order to avoid the bitterness of life but it turns out that it might be wrong because maybe that bitter thing will be the medicine and the antidote for our lives in the days to come.
Be like coffee even though it is bitter but is liked and liked by many people, the bitter taste may be only for a moment but the pleasure will be felt in the soul. His friend's bitter coffee is sugar, as bitter as coffee is when mixed with sugar, the pleasure will be felt to the bones, meaning that our lives must have a bitter basis because when happy things will come, the relief of hearts and minds will become one in happiness.

As always, you wrote very beautifully and inspiringly, my friend. How beautifully you compared the bitterness of life to the bitterness of coffee. I completely agree with you, the bitterness of life should be tasted, because after these bitterness, joys and pleasures will certainly come.
