Have not been popular very often in my life until very late in my life.

That ought to cause concern for you than.Anyone who even thinks He is popular is prideful and not practicing humility

A root of bitterness usually clouds, distorts, obscures perception.

God has a solution for it.

. . . for those willing to change and be free of it.

Thanks for your castigations.

I appreciate the Heavenly reward that they accrue to my account there.

It is also a welcome and humblingly wonderful thing to see how outrageously distant your accusations are from the realities involved. Thanks for that, too.
