I HATE PEAS!

That’s right. Can’t stand them.

As a child I discovered numerous ways to avoid eating them.

• The napkin in the lap trick

• The dog under the table trick.

• The squash them and hide them under the bones trick.

• The create a diversion and slip them on my brother’s plate trick.

• The swallow them like a pill with water trick.

• The, oops! my plate fell on the floor trick.

Yep. I hated Peas.

As an adult I choose not to eat them.

Not even out of courtesy to my host if I’m eating out.

Never.

So why am I telling you this?

Because I never would have chosen not to eat them, if I had not tasted them first and found my dislike.

And that’s what life is all about. Contrast and the realisation that you do not have to eat those peas if you don’t want to.

But how can you possibly know what you like or dislike, if you don’t try it first.

How can you possibly discredit or disbelieve anything that you have never experienced.

It’s important to keep that in mind…..
