The mind is an extraordinary thing. It controls how and where we live. If it is preoccupied with the past, all too often regret, depression, and misery can engulf it. If it is too focused on the infinite possibilities of the future, anxiety, fear, and misery overwhelm it. The past is gone, and either lessons were learned which improve your present, or an inescapable trap of regret is sprung. Our awareness of the past and future can be our greatest strength or weakness. My theory is that the reason our species used such a small percentage of our possible brain capacity lies in the distraction of that awareness. The brain is the largest sexual organ we possess. Try to live one day enjoying each moment. Make each caress, smile, and word spoken to a loved one a heartfelt photograph imprinted upon them. Try to enjoy every sensation as if it might be your last. This is where true freedom begins. This can be your reality, if you are brave enough to taste it.
If you have intelligence, beauty, strength, or wealth, chances are that you don't want to give them up to become equal with the swarms of dumb, ugly, weak, and poor people. Society wants everyone to strive to be equal. They want you to be unremarkable, thus easily controlled. This will sound offensive to anyone whose mind is controlled by society. So I ask you to think for yourself. That is the last thing your government or religion wants. Think...

I’m sorry to be unaware, but would you be so kind as to elaborate on this? Could you apply this to someone who is bitter?

I believe bitterness arises from scars left by past trama. The experience of bad interaction in past relationships can affect one's ability to find intimacy in the present and future.
