Dark Chocolate

I love to eat chocolates, especially dark ones. The darker they are, the more bitter they are, the more I like it. It's a very special kind of food because of the contradicting feelings you get from it, and it resembles life.

How is that so?

We know chocolate is supposed to be sweet, but dark chocolates ain't all that sweet. At first bite, you would think that : ahh.. it's sweet. But as you chew further, you start to taste the bitterness of it. And once you're done eating the dark chocolate, you'd find a sweet, fragrant aftertaste. We call that 'bittersweet'.

Life is a cycle of ups and downs. When we're infants, we had no troubles. All we did were sleeping and eating. As we grow older, things get more complicated and not all things go as we planned. But whatever problems we face in life, we have to deal with it and emerge as the winner. Success is only sweet when we have tasted failures, isn't that so?

So the next time you eat a dark chocolate, don't just eat it like a snack. Taste it thoroughly and thoughtfully, taste it with your heart. And i'm sure you will start to love dark chocolates as much as i do.

yaa..... pardon my paragraph full of grammar mistakes.
It's weird that when my Korean is improving... my english is.... going the other way. Korean grammar is so messy.
