My sister Dina just came back from China, and she brought back with her some ancient wisdom packaged in a book on Chinese proverbs. The Chinese believed that Sour, sweet, bitter, and pungent, must all be tasted in the journey of life.
In English, it means that there is a variety of days…the good, the bad and the ugly.
Now…people…how is it that an intelligent person such as myself get astonished when every so often I am faced with the notorious “bad day.” Surely, every day can not, and should not be a feast of lanterns! I know this, and everyone I know, knows this, but still, today I stand surprised.
I am feeling gloomy. I shall spare you the reason, suffice it to say that today is a gloomy day.
The good news is that I am tasting the journey of life.
