What is now bitter may become sweet someday

22 December 2007
In the past month, I have been trying to resolve a conflict between three people at my church. It did not work, unfortunately. It became even worse probably. This has caused a tremendous disappointment nearing the end of my term as the chairperson of the youth commission. Neverthless, I think there are times when we face failures and make things become worse rather than better. Such experiences teach us more than successful ones. It is bitter for me but the bitterness may turn out to be a taste worth tasting for, as life is not always so sweet. By tasting different tastes, we become wiser and not remain as spoiled kids who just demand for sweets. The key, I think, is to keep a positive attitude in looking at this problem. What is now bitter may someday turn up to be sweet. Painful as it may seem now, the experience will make us stronger and wiser. The strength and the wisdom will be something sweet for us in the future.
