The Anatomy of Bitterness
I took an anatomy class in college. In the words made famous by “Pretty Woman,” Julia Roberts, “BIG MISTAKE. BIG. HUGE!” What made this a mistake? Well, it began when my lab partner and I had to skin a dead cat for dissection. Gross! We then had to familiarize ourselves so thoroughly with every in…
