Sweet As Pie

Sugar is a wonderful ingredient. When used properly, it can turn bland dishes into mouth-watering sweet ones. With the right amount of sugar, a dessert can be a wonderful and memorable experience.

But if sugar is used too much, the food will be too sweet; it will be uneatable. Even worse, too much sugar in a diet can lead to diseases like diabetes.

So it is with your life. A little fun can do wonders to an overworked existence. It can divert your mind from weighty tasks and bring lightness to your steps. Much joy and pleasure can happen when you do something you love.

Fun and relaxation are the "sugars" of your life. They add sweetness to a dull world of routine. But if you have too much fun, that can have negative consequences as well. You neglect your career and family to live a life of hedonistic pleasure. Things then fall apart, because you prefer to live in this dream world rather than face the realities of life.

You must learn to use fun as a topping, rather than the main dish. Sprinkle enough to add and enhance your life, but do not ruin the dish by dumping the whole bag of sugar into it. Sweetness is only so good if you can enjoy the taste. Learn to use it well, and you can bring much joy into your life.
