looking for sugar

When you come looking for sugar,
your bag will be examined
to see how much it can hold;
it will be filled accordingly.”

Jalalu'ddin Rumi , 1207-1273
Beloved Persian Poet

How about chocolate?

No seriously, the sweetness of life must be appreciated with the bitterness in equal measure.

Just as he says in "Wheel", "You can't love to much one part of it.."

i'm having ice cream because my horoscope said i should treat myself :) :

"Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, you've taken some pretty tough circumstances and used them to grow. Now you're developing into something lovely and fantastic beyond your wildest imaginings. During times like these, it's good to remember how grateful you are -- not only for the easy things in your life, but for the tough circumstances as well. They've shaped you into someone amazing. Take a moment to honor yourself."

i thought it it was a nice horoscope.

love when he sings that!!
and also
"And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again"

Ah thats gr8, bigger the bag can hold more the sugar. But i would prefer it more the sweet person you are - the more sweet for U or much better the more bitter you are - the more sweet for you to make U sweet. That would indeed make the world a sweet lil' place to live in.
