(NEVER MIND)

Many, have likened life, and its impacts, to tasting. We savour the moments life presents to us and attach such flavours that would otherwise be common to Mr. Tongue only.
Life's a piece of cake. A box of choclates. A lemon that can be squeezed into lemonade. It has...

Sweet
A pleasant taste that is enjoyed most of the time as an indulgement. Its considered a 'good guy' sort of taste, as to comment that something is 'sweet', is to praise. In reality, emotions of joy fall into this. Situations of love, fancying, admiration etc. all get the privillage of being coated with the sweetness of honey. Sweetness' footman, sugar, is very addictive and while it keeps at you munching the stuff, you would only shun away when there is an essence of 'too-much-of-it'ness. Too much sugar isn't good for you, they say.

Sour
It can counter feelings of naueousity; a propable representation that its just the opposite of vomiting out... its keeping in. Its a taste that 'wakes up'. That has one requiring some 'getting-used-to' before actual enjoyment. Situations of jealousy, of hatered, of anger probaly come to this catergory to stay. In life, sour feelings aren't really enjoyed. They can be savoured, and processed with acknowledgement in retrospection or observation, but by the moment, its hard/ridiculous to enjoy it.

Salty
The 'add-on' food for a mild 'adventurous' reason. Life tastes better with salt (yeah, I frequent the MRT). Such risks in life would represent the added amount of salt, one's life is really in danger if he eats too much salt anyway. Its basically nice thing to taste and gives life true flavour.
Spicing up life also can be done through Salt's cousin, Spice. (Um...) As in spicy stuff, 'hot' stuff. It can defintely be enjoyed, only it would take you to a point where you can't take it, depending on your treshole.

Bitter
There isn't much reason why one would enjoy bitterness, except for the sake of its benefits. Likewise, some bitterness would help one grow in life. To be always 'bitter' is unhealthy of course, but bitterness in reality doesn't seem to have much to do with wrecking up your health. For sugar and salty have their own health distresses, and even sour has one getting a tongue tingling phenomena. Perhaps its because no one has went to the extent of eating that much bitter stuff.


And well, when tasting the food, and life. Let's remember to chew, so that we won't get choked. Afterall, the flavours and tastes don't matter once they get pass your tongue, it only matters if it can be digested by your stomach and then be stored to use as energy, or get excrected as waste...

It also matters, whether or not the food is poison...
