In the old Mary Poppins movies by Disney there is a song entitled, "A spoon full of sugar" basically saying that a spoon full of sugar makes it easier to take medicine. at that day and age the "medicine" ws usually castor oil (YUCK) or some tonic usually made with Quinine (BITTER) or possibly even Laudanum (which is just watered down poppy seed juice i.e. (opium)) Again YUCK! So a spoon full of sugar made those medicines (which were of questionable value to the body) easier to swallow.
Did you ever wonder if maybe those things SHOULD taste bad so you DON'T ingest them?
In life we get disappointed... often. We often feel like we are losing out on something that should be ours. We feel like we are being cheated. When this happens consider the medicine... maybe it's better not to have the spoonful of sugar and the medicine all together... Just recover from whatever the problem is.
Real fast, an even worse thing is to be disappointed for someone else! To be offended on their behalf.. because you really don't know what is happening in their mind... so don't take medicine for someone else either.
My time is up,
My peace I give to you
