Trauma
Trauma always either embitters or enlightens... usually both.

I am inclined to believe that enlightenment and embitterment are not mutually exclusive.
By the way, I am really loving the aphoristic structure of your thoughts lately. Stylistically, brevity is definitely flattering to your ideas. It grants your ideas the profundity and weight of which they are deserving.
Thank you Jessica! I am experimenting with this new style and I've been liking the results so far, more or less.
Yes, they most certainly are not mutually exclusive. Often they go hand in hand. This relates directly to the previous post on "strength". Embitterment is a psychological state, while enlightenment is a spiritual state. How is the psychological related to the spiritual? We have these categories differentiating the spiritual from the psychological. But in actuality, our feelings are not so strictly articulated from one another. Can the psychological be separated from the spiritual? And the opposite?
These things interest me, among others.
