  Is there anyone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them.But you get really angry every time you think of them.If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).

  Bitterness appears when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry.Someone might say or do something that hurts us.But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside.Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow.We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we're really only hurting ourselves.
