When life hands you lemons...make lemonade. So, the saying goes. But, what if you don't know what lemons are? What if you don't recognize them? Some people have what they think is bad luck, and have know idea that they may have some control over the outcomes in their lives. I used to be like that.
Sometimes, I know that things in my life seem a little sour, but I am remiss to find the source. I'm not sure sometimes wether these are natural events in the course of things or wether these are lemons that can be turned into lemonades. What if it's just rotten fruit? You can't make much of anything out of rotten apples or oranges. If you let them sit there they'll fester and draw flies and sundry other vermin that you don't want around. All you can really do is throw them away. But, then it depends on how rotten it is. In some cases you can cut out the rotten spots and make apple pie...but oranges, you just have to throw away. The entire taste of an orange is spoiled if it has a rotten spot in it.
So, what's the point of this? Hell if I know. I just woke up thinking about this. What if a person can't recognize a lemon? Then, I guess you can just throw that away too. And then you have to understand that if you make lemonade, you're just putting something sweet on top of something sour. It doesn't make the sourness go away, it just makes the lemony taste more palatable.
Then, I started thinking that sugar is not all that good for you... So, then you've damaged yourself, by trying to make a sour thing sweet.
So... I like lemons. Especially, in lemon meringue pie or cookies.
(Humming...Whistling).
I guess you don't have to know what something is to know that it's sour. And is it always best to sugar coat something just because it's hard to swallow?
Hmmm. Now there's a thought?
