sweet & sour

There'll always be problems in life.
It's just impossible to go through life without encountering problems.
Some dissatisfaction will always remain...
the better we are able to accept that fact,
the better we will be able to cope with life's disappointment.

Take the example of a person who likes to eat sweet things,
but doesn't like sour things. There's certain fruit that this person enjoys...
that fruit may be mostly sweet, but also have a little bit of sourness in it.

That person don't stop eating it because it has a little sour taste.
If he want to continue to enjoy eating that fruit, he have to accept the taste.
You cant separate the sweet from the sour in that pieces of fruit,
it's always going to be mixed.

Life is just like that.
as long as you are living,
life will have good things but also some problems that you don't like.
That's life.
