Does Life give you Oranges & Lemons for a reason?



Life gives you lemons.... you taste them and then taste them some more .... until you surender to the bitter taste and your taste buds become desensitised..

But then one day you get a break...! You get to taste an orange and it's sweet and you appreciate the good from the tasteless bad.... Then you reflect on how that first taste of a lemon made you wince!!

But then lemons always come back, you take your first taste and its back to that bitter sensation, and all you want is to have that sweet taste of orange again.

A perpetual cycle of bitter sweet...

But what if we reflected on the fact that the bitterness gets less bitter over time? And if we had oranges all the time prehaps we wouldn't appreciate the sweetness; the same as we would forget to appreciate the bitterness of the lemon over time?

Time is a great believer in creating resilience, mind over matter.... it's never to sweet and its never to bitter ... its believing you can appreciate them both for the fruitful possibilities they provide.
