Life is a Minestrone

I disagree.

Life is a rollercoaster. Period.

It was Mr Williams who sang

'You gotta get high before you taste the lows'

and I believe there is a certain truth in that statement. I feel you do appreciate the highs even more if you still have the feelings associated with the lows. It makes them even higher (if you know what I mean) and that feeling can be the best feeling in the world.

Conversely, if they occur the other way round – its bad. Real Bad. Bottom of the world bad.

It was only recently that I got my ticket and waited in line for the rollercoaster.

I have been on it now and experienced the sensations that both extremes bring and it has made me realise that my life for the past few years was flat, boring and uneventful.

I dont want to get off.
