really. how do you describe it?
as one person puts it : 'when it is clean, it's white and if it's fresh you can smell it. on your tongue it's bitting and puckery. in your eye or on broken skin, it stings. on some foods, it adds to a billion percent of taste. on others, it makes it enhances its sweetness.'
but how do you really describe it? especially to a person without taste buds?
how do you explain light to a person who cannot see?
how do you depict touch to a person who cannot feel?
how do you detail the aroma of roses to a person who cannot smell?
hard isn't it? one can't live the experience through words. there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe them and too many meanings for one word. experience is essential.
in the same way, you can't describe an experience with God. you have to experience Him, feel His touch, hear His voice in order to know exactly what it feels like to be in His presence. plus, it's different for everyone; just like i don't like strawberry-flavoured processed food.

that's good deb ... the whole God thing... I'm really bad with analogies. You should become a preacher hahaha...
what do I not like? I know you're not asking me but I'll tell you anyway. I realy don't like those sweet chilli and sour cream flavoured snak-ka-tas that Wes bought for supper 2 weeks ago. They were horrible! What else do I not like? Negative people and proud people who cannot accept self-fault. Yeah they kinda bug me!
See ya later blog boss
Dear Boss of Blog Squad,
Please accept my humble comment on your post. Here are my thoughts, for your consideration.
1. Salt tastes salty. That is all there is to salt's taste.
2. Light looks bright, or dull, dependant entirely on the power of the light's source.
3. Roses smell exactly like...roses.
I could do this forever! I'm answering all of the hardest questions in the world effortlessly!
Thank you for you time.
Sincerely, Michael Yeung.
