The Bitter bitter people!!

Everywhere you go - on the internet that is, you see people commenting enthusiastically on topics of importance , no importance et all... Like always I read through the comments about a young Bollywood actor getting married. He's been with her for 8 years..so when is the divorce the comments went. The other comments were along the same lines. I wonder, what is it that make people so bitter. Every comment you read on any issue makes you want to rethink your views. No not your views on the subject, but on the people all around you. As much as you would like to think the majority are democratic, forward thinking and intelligent people..every comment seem to say otherwise..
Bitterness is all I see. Everybody seems bitter. Some are just plain sarcastic but the bitterness in their voice(words) is hard to miss. Maybe they are tired of the routine, celeb link ups break-ups, marriages, re-marriages, patch ups, insults and praises they shower on each other, everything seems fake to them. Same goes for the political parties, when you have to decide on who to vote based on whose corruption was the least harmful to the people, we are indeed living in "bitter" times. Take sport, its no more fun. You want your team to win, no matter what, you hate the opponent, you suspect your own players of having taken money..or you see your favourites being auctioned like cattle in a cattle market. No fun, just that bitter feeling creeping in, why do I not make as much money..I work just as hard..ah bitter bitter very bitter.

So in a country (can I add not just the country) that is fast filling up with bitter people, there is no role for genuine people? Genuine people are doubted, questioned and branded as unintelligent, not fit for the current times. You are nice? Then you are not fit to live seems to be what the message is!

Ah you what bitter people...I have a message for you.. The bitterness gets to me as well, but I try and look at things without my own myopic view of things affecting things.. well most times..atleast there is something nice left in the world ..and I'm only too glad I see it. Take a look, you wont mind it too :)

PS - Happy New year!!

tiredness is the basic thing it seems from this routines & same thing happening again & again....which makes most of the things look fake.

LOVELY update good to read :)

Bitterness is an innate quality.We become bitter over seeing actions, behaviours or reaction against our wish or are unpleasant for us many become bitter and few just tolerate but tolerance for long time make them even more bitter or rather a few become immune to that "something" against their wish it can be anything even people criticising them bitterly or behaving the way that is intolerable for them.Here few people comment bitterly over link-ups and break-ups because they wish to see their favourite on-screen couple as on off-screen couple few others because they have heard a lot about it thanks to mass media that present it all with the spice added they over-hype the controversies and make it a news as if they don't find other exciting things to publish or to display (though there are many)they just get obsessed with it on hearing such things 16/7 few other just comment bitterly as they don't like an actor/actress for few known or unknown reasons.What I don't get is why people are so concerned for actors and their personal lives.R they harming u anyway? R u evenly concerned when ur relatives or ur neighbours are in trouble or needs u the most? or When own life lacks momentum u r just busy criticising(well that's another issue) Being bitter over the actions of politicians well general people are definitely affected by their corruption or their actions unlike the previous situation but here also corruption starts at our own respective level though at small scale we can just be bitter or protest against them but here I would like to differ a bit our country's Mr. President has spent 10,000 Million dollars over his own expenditures of a month implemented heavy taxes on farmers and his maladministration has renders endless loss to general people they are bound to be bitter after 16 hours load-shedding and inflation in the prices of eatables and the goods of common use.In general people are dissatisfied from their own achievements they considers they are the only one's working hard and others don't deserve what they are getting surely sometimes people get more than they deserve here destiny plays its role God has planned something better for those who don't get it.I've seen many unsuccessful doctors and successful professors who aim to become a doctor.Being bitter is of no use Is it? a person should just get satisfied or ignore few things not related to them anyway.Satisfaction the only remedy for bitterness but being satisfy doesn't means a person should leave everything to destiny I would like to code a simple example here "God help those who help themselves" and two are definitely related.
