I hope you’re hungry. . .

Everyone gets 2 knives and you’re envited to eat with your hands.

Todays Special:

It has a briny crust of bitter truths and sharp shards of introspection,

but tear into the flesh of it, you’ll find that my gooey middle is delicious.

It may entertain you (although that’s not my goal) & it could offend you

(I don’t really care).

Throughout I will endeavor to be faithful in context and educating in prose.

Special attention should be paid to:

• Sarcasm
• Cynicism
• Allegory
• Rebus
• Thanatos

Along with other literary devices I will illuminate the scene 4U.

Examples will be plentiful but that is why we’re here.

My quill is at the ready. Let us begin……

Bitterness is an emotion of anger felt as a result of a real or imagined wrong done.

Etymologically from "ressentir", French re-, intensive prefix, and sentir "to feel";

from the latin "sentire". The English word has become synonymous with anger and resentment.

It can be an emotionally disturbing experience that is being felt again or relived in the mind.

When the person feeling resentment is directing the emotion at himself it appears as remorse.

(See Kierkegaard and Nietzsche; also 12-step discussion of Resentment)

• Bitterness is a warm coat.
• Remorse is a hole in your warm coat.
• Resentment is leaving your coat at home because you believed what you were told,
• “It’s beautiful out you don’t need your coat”
• Revenge is pushing that person in the lake and taking their coat.

OK, everyone has their coats on – lets move along to the next display.
