The Taste of Life

dear murthy sir, thx - we all need periodic reminding. to my mind, one way of keeping the bitterness down is to help others handle their own share of bitterness. easier said than done i know - but there is a way here if we are willing to explore and wise enough not to intrude into spaces not meant to be open. warm regards 

How do we become a lake from a glass?  By developing other areas of interest?  By focusing on other matters rather than the matter at hand?  By widening our circle?  By reading (studying) books?  Take your pick

Good one!

The amount of pain in life remains exactly the same. However, the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. 
Moral - Don't put the bitterness in job.

So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things . . .
Moral - Don't put your entire pain in one part of your life eg. Job. Instead scatter it in other areas to make its intensity less.

Have I comprehend in the right way?

superb sir :)

Fantastic morale booster!  Yes.  Pain is a universal phenomenon.  Buddha said, I quote, "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.”
Thanks very Mr. Murthy for your thoughtful posting!
