Food for Love

Our beautitude is defined by our tastes, informed by our ability to appreciate. We could look at the rose or we could look at the thorns. Thorns are beautiful too when they are appreciated as such. If we keep lamenting about how it pokes or that the glass is half empty, we miss the opportunity of appreciating life from having what there already is. Sometimes we overdo and extract more than we need to or do more than we need to because we don’t where is the ‘sufficient’ or ‘enough’ point. Overtreatment and therapeutic annihilation are twin traps that Hippocrates Oath reminds us in maintaining health of life. Love is similar. Over loving may not allow someone to breathe well enough causing shortness of breath from not having personal reserves to bounce back to health from, a kind of the reverse of asthma/bronchitis. Relationships are a fine waltz.
