Or we need to face the gain and loss in this human life? Bittersweet (2022) is a profound meditation on an often overlooked emotional experience – the bittersweet It argues that opening up to the bittersweet, where pain and joy mingle, allows us to experience life to the fullest Susain Cain shows how a bittersweet state of mind is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain, whether from a death or breakup, addiction or illness If we don’t acknowledge our own heartache, she says, we can end up inflicting it on others via abuse, domination, or neglect But if we realize that all humans know —or will know—loss and suffering, we can turn toward one another.  I hope that through my suggested version, I can express the author's message, making it easier for readers to understand what the author is trying to say and help them think more positively after reading Student:Tran Tran Khanh An Code: 25203101951
