Bittersweet is an Oxymoron, a figure of speech in which two extreme
words are put together to describe something.
Ever wonder why people seem to like bittersweet things or
situations?
Let me tell you why, well this is this me, my observation, and my reason why I like bittersweet things or situations. One is for the thrill,
let me give you a sample; kissing someone else that you like when you are in a
relationship or even just the thought of it. Bitter as you know it is not right
and the ‘thrill’ is the sweet part. Not knowing if it will just be a onetime
thing or if you will be caught by your partner. The whole situation makes you
feel alive; it’s the rush of things.
We move on to the next reason I see why people like
bittersweet things, Balance. As stated in my first sentence, bittersweet is an Oxymoron.
For me, you use an Oxymoron as you feel like you are in between two opposite emotions.
As they say, you will never know happiness if you have not experienced sorrow or sadness.
Being in a situation wherein you feel that you are happy and yet you feel
pained is how some people gauge that they are still alive and at the middle
point. You might say that should be neutral ground, no it is no neutral grounds
as you are aware that you feel both emotions.
In short people like the feeling of being tugged from one
side to the other. Guess the outcome of one’s decision and if the parties
involved will do something to make you fall completely to their respected side. We all will go through some bittersweet situation
in the future or maybe you are having one now, I have an advice for you, if I
was in the situation I will enjoy it and if in the end you win or lose something
because of it don’t be sad it is another lesson learned after all.
