Bitter/Sweet

Life, I find is Bitter/Sweet.
A real life example: the Sweet: It is harvest time at my house.... the crops are abundant - plump, ripe and delicious. Onions, potatoes, corn, green beans, watermelon, berries, grapes, peppers of all varieties, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other random fruits and vegetables that my housemate, "mother earth", and I have planted this past year. All the hard work is paying off and we have an over-abundance of all the above named fregables (fruits/vegetables - I made that up myself:). Some how, a vegetable that you slaved to create tastes so much better than the one you chose out of a lineup at the grocery store. The taste of that ripe cherry tomato you popped into your mouth while walking through the garden, marveling at your work and pridefully giving yourself a pat on the back for creating something so magnificent.... tastes oh so sweet!! Unfortunately life is bitter/sweet... The real life Bitter: I am not sure if it is "plant pay back" or just God's sense of humor, but the sweetness of that tomato and the pride you feel towards your garden creation is nothing compared to the feeling of that over-ripe tomato, having fallen to the ground and rolled into the isle, squishing undesirably between the toes of your bare foot. Sometimes I hear the tomato laughing at me. And in a deep menacing voice it says, "You missed me.. I was ripe and waiting for you to find me and you missed me.. I fell to the earth and will soon turn to compost.... but you will remember me, oh yes you will. You will remember me more than my comrades... I will cause you a kind of agony that can not be inflicted with nails or shards of glass, you will scream and I will laugh having taken my revenge on you".
