Bitter Berries
Some berries look so enticing until you have tasted them.You then discover the truth as to their sweetness.I am sure that a lot of us have had to swallow bitter berries in our lifetime.Swallowing those bitter berries even with the lump in our throats and a lost appetite.Some of us have had to eat many of those bitter berries in search of the sweet ones.The berries in life don't show their flavor, you have to try them before you know if they are going to be sweet or have a bitterness that clings to your throat and you choke on them.The flavor of some berries change after you have eaten them for too long.Their sweetness starts to turn bitter and you realize that you have been eating bitter berries all along, and that your taste buds were the reason that you did not recognize the bitter berries from the sweet ones.If you have never tasted sweet berries, you will not recognize them as being sweet.Until you learn what sweet berries actually taste like, you will continue to to be drawn to the taste of the bitter berries thinking that they were the sweet ones, and always be left with a bad taste in your mouth, a lump in your throat and a lost appetite.
