Life is definitely bittersweet.

Previously, I used to dislike dark chocolate because of its bittersweet taste. I would much rather have milk chocolate: nice, creamy and sweet all the way. I would choose milk chocolate over dark chocolate anytime.

Over the years though, I'm starting to take a liking for dark chocolate.

As with life, the sweet part of the bittersweet tastes so wonderful and leaves me wanting more. In fact, the sweet part always makes the bitter part taste a thousand times more bitter.

But the reverse is true too... something that I've experienced over the past 2 or 3 years. Though the sweet part makes the bitter part more bitter, the bitter part makes the sweet part taste a thousand million times sweeter too.

And that is why I thank God for the bitter times in life.
