Everything has its own taste.
Love is bittersweet. Lust is spicy. Betrayal is bitter. Our taste buds recognize different flavors but our mind is not so professional at that.
Our heart is a bowl which is constantly filled with various sweets, chili peppers, salt, and sugar and so on. Imagine eating everything in the bowl at once. Tastes awful and disgusting. But we still love the mixture.
It keeps us alive.
