I am fortunate as in... I am very laid back and don't allow myself to get bitter and twisted. I do have my say if I find it necessary but that's the end of it as far as I am concerned. I can quite easily walk away. xxx

Anger at unfairness and injustice is natural and can be cathartic as long as you don't hold on to it.

I always try to let go and leave it to karma, but I don't forget.

There are just a few little grudges I like to hold comfortably to my heart and will not let them go. But otherwise, I think that whatever you give out to the Universe, you get back twofold. So I generally prefer to have a positive rather than a negative attitude in life. Even the word "bitter" is rather nasty isnt it?

Good Morning dont know your name

my answer to that is.when a problem hits you deal with it.

Three bins

Bin 1 yours
deal with problems ASAP.

Bin 2 if family and friends, try to help, if not put it back in there bin,

Bin 3 trouble makers, its stays in there bin you dont need the trash.

just my opinion.

You dont get through life unscathed...... its the things that happen along the path of life that shapes us into who we are and how we learn.

There is no need to be bitter and twisted though....if you spend too long looking at the door that has just slammed in your face you wont see the new one opening further up the hallway.

We learn we develop and we are shaped by what happens in our lives - thats what makes us who we are.

If life didnt throw things at us and we didnt have to struggle or develop we would all be the same. How boring that would be.

Last song on the monty python life of brian sums up how you get over stuff. Lifes shit then you die.

I just dont forgive/forget and I wont talk to anyone who hurts my family. But I dont waste time over it either.

I'm already bitter and twisted !

If you see a fight in the street do you join in or walk away ?I I walk away every time, as its not my arguement and I dont want to be involved.

Things happen in our lives, people do and say things to us that we do not like and feel are uncalled for. We get 'done over' in business and in our personal lives or close friends and rellies do things that hurt us.

So my question is...how do we get through life relatively unscathed?

How do you deal with these things and stop yourself becoming bitter and twisted about it?
