Better... Not Bitter
We all go through difficulties... the unscathed soul does not exist. Thing is... despite the problems and scumbags of life... it is still a really Great Life. So much to be thankful for. Sure we get hurt... sure we get taken advantage of but we still need to dwell on the good. Be Grateful Not Hateful.
.
Folks dwelling on their lost election or lost fortune or lost whatever... can turn that disappointment into hate. They can become much worse than any of the folks they think wronged them. Far Better to move on... move forward and dwell on the good.

Hebrews 12:14&15
Be at peace with all men... Looking diligently lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
.
Philippians 4:8
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things
