I've heard the difference between between bitter and better is one letter(the letter "I") meaning it's all about "I" meaning it's all about me, myslef and I. To be better we eliminate thinking about
"I" as the most important person that needs to be taken care of, and include others in our mind and that makes us better. That makes perfect sense. When I am down in the dumps, feeling sorry for myself and feeling bitter about my past, I get so self absorbed and cant cope with anyone else's needs. I often think if I pamper myself it will make me feel better but it rarely does. Then when I let someone else in, whether it be to help them, me, or for a friendly chat, it makes me feel so much happier.
