My Opinions of the Above Title!!!

So, most of the mentally sane can come to a general consensus that life is good, otherwise...why would we be trying so hard at it...agreed?  Anyways, this group of mentally aware people can also agree that life can be...not so good, yes?  Having come to these two opposing conclusions brings not only myself to a contradiction but also any poor reader who happens to stumble upon this post/blog.  With these two standpoints I would like to bring to light the fact that as humans, we aren't satisfied with having only one-half of the "life-pie".  The good tasting half is yummy some days, and other days we seem to sit around eating the foul tasting pie while complaining about it the whole time.  When it is put this way it certainly sounds like we choose what half of the pie to eat each day.

Not true!!!  If you parallel life to the kind of pie you might have been served in a cafeteria, such as in a high school, then you can recall how vastly different the quality of that particular dessert tasted each and every time.  If people could have the good pie all the time then no one would partake of the..."not so good pie".  But! Seeing that, for some odd reason, people insist on making bad pie it can only mean that it has to be gotten rid of somehow.  And that is were the "not so good" part of life comes from:  Bad pie, and the bad pie makers.  Now that we have another element in this parallel to life I should explain.

These "bad pie makers" aren't bakers but rather every person that another person comes into contact with during life.  Overall the best pie makers that make life better are indeed ourselves.  Case in point, the next time you see yourself in the mirror congratulate yourself on a pie well done, you fantastic baker you!  Expanding on this image one can easily decipher that family and friends are "good pie makers" as well.  The bitter sweet combination of this "life-pie" is meant to leave the individual craving to make life even better.  Every piece of this "life-pie", good or bad, finds the mouth of another.  The more "bad" pie made means the more bad life experiences that person has to go through, and the opposite is true for the "good" pieces.

Everyone contributes to life and the experiences taken from it.  If we all strive to be good bakers then there will be less circulation of this "bad pie".  However, it should be noted that if there were no "bad pie" in life there could be no good either.  To know that you have had a good experience one must have had a bad experience to compare with.  That is why we can't seem to get enough of this bitter-sweet pie/life relationship.
