The Problem:

The sweet is never as sweet, without a little of the bitter. And, I’ve known bitter for a long time. Would like something really sweet. However, what really matters is proper balance. Without proper balance, the flavors just do not work right.

Something To Think About

Life is about proper balance.

What we want, is proper balance. Some sweets, and sometimes bittersweet. Sometimes, we want something that we crave. I’m not a chef, and I really do not understand food very well. For instance, I’m not sure what flavors really go together well. I have some things, I understand do go together. But those things are limited to my life experience.

Really, everything depends upon a persons experience. If you had only ever eaten sweets, for your whole life, and had never tasted the bittersweet, how would you feel about it? Would you be so tired of the sweets, that the new flavor would be welcome relief? Or would you want to puke it out?

Life is about balance. Some real variety is important. It matters. Without variety, life becomes awful dull. Sweets are good. Sometimes a cup of coffee is good. Some people don’t like the taste of coffee, and they only want sweet stuff. Some people like things that are the same everyday.

What we need is correct balance. Variety, and things that don’t cause us discomfort, or unpleasant feelings. But what would a perfect life be like?

It would be well balanced, with enough variety. And the ability to make something that produces good results. Good results, matter.

Some people, like sour. But in very limited doses. It’s like, well enough of that. Now we want something cold and fizzy. Maybe, we want, something that makes us feel better? What is proper balance, and tastes right for the occasion? That is some real help. The occasion that matches the flavor, and has good results for everyone. That is why chefs are in demand. They match the flavors just right.

We want something that makes a melody. Perfect balance produces a real melody that you can feel, hear, and sense. Sometimes, the occasion is just perfect. Those are the feel goods. Maybe, life will be kind. We want good results from our efforts. We want life better for everyone. Things here have to balance correctly. Without proper balance, things don’t work right.

Maybe, life will get a lot better, and we will have correct balance again in our lives. We can only hope.
