BITTERSWEET

[Pictures from my kitchen garden]

Bittersweet, like mango and bitter gourd planted adjacent to each other. You sow them to reap the fruit and the vegetable.

Though sweet, mango takes years to give you the fruit. Though bitter, you can feed yourself with bitter gourd within a month or two of sowing the seed.

One teaches you to be patient. The other teaches you to be grateful for what you have. The best of both worlds does not exist yet but it will someday.
