Our tongue detects five basic taste components, which includes bitter and sweet. According to what we’ve learned back in primary, the region where we taste sweetness better is placed at the tip of our tongue whereas for the bitterness would be near the end of the tongue; though it is said there is no distinct regions for tasting different tastes later on, still, here goes. Wonder if it is how we are meant to be or perhaps it is our choice to look at it from a different angle, that we tend to go for the happiness instead of the opposite and that we like to taste something sweet compared to the bitter ones. How often do people ask which path we are to take on first; bitter or sweet? How often do we go for the bad news instead of the good ones? How often does it even come across our minds that we get to choose to go through the hard times before the leisure comes? Nevertheless, there are times when we fail to differentiate bitterness out of the sweet, as they come together in one package, or perhaps we should put it in such a way that there are times when we can find happiness out of sorrow and out of all disappointments as well. There are those who wonder what fun there can be inside a jungle, camping under the stars and throwing feast for all the blood sucking insects we can find in the woods. There are those who have been asking why obstacle is a must in life, with all the struggling and falling, trying hard to overcome it. There are those who are curious on how people tolerate with the bitterness in life, yet finding them memorable to be called the golden days. Guess that depends on whether we are looking from the inside out or the other way round, whether we taste bitterness out of the sweet or the opposite, whether we emphasize on the happiness taken place or the tears being shed in life.
