BITTERNESS IS CONTAGIOUS TWISTED LIVING & IT DEFILES MANY OTHERS ---
SUDDENLY LITTLE HATE TREES SHOOTS START SURFACING AND POPPING UP EVERYWHERE --
OUT OF ONE PERSON'S DARK SOUL HATE SPREADS TO ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING SOULS.

Bitterness is a root!
"What is a root? A root is a source, or a bubbling fountain that is laying under the surface. Roots do not directly manifest or make themselves known, but are a source of nutrition or fuel for other elements that are on the surface. You don't usually see a plant showing off it's root system, but if the plant didn't have a root system it wouldn't survive. A root's job is not to manifest on the surface, but to brew under the surface and fuel things that are on the surface.

Let's take a closer look at a plants root system... where does the roots dwell? Under the surface of the soil. Can everybody see it's root system? No, because it's hidden under the soil or surface. The same is true with bitterness in a person's soul. It is a hidden element that lies under the surface, and out of it springs up anger and other negative emotions against others and against the circumstances around us. People who have a root of bitterness find it easy to get upset over things that other's are doing around them. It's like a brewing fountain that lies beneath the surface, waiting to fuel something that is on the surface."
"Bitter people have an amazing memory for the tiniest detail, and they wallow in self-pity and resentment. They record every offense in their heart's mind and are always ready to show others how much they have been hurt.
Bitter people defend their grudges constantly: they feel that they have been hurt too deeply and too often, and that this exempts them from the need to forgive. Their hearts are sometimes so full of resentment that they no longer have the capacity to love.
Bitterness is a frozen form of latent anger and resentment.Bitterness grows out of our refusal, to let go when someone or something is taken from us.
BITTERNESS IS BEING CONSTANTLY HURT BY A MEMORY AND IS HOLDING ONTO A HURT UNTIL IT HAS A HOLD ON YOU."
