making eggnog

i was just in the kitchen when i blended myself something strange:

2 eggs
1 banana
half a glass milk

i was hesitant about the first sip not knowing exactly how vile it might all taste.
it was the sweetest surprise.
literally sweet.
i analysed the ingredients and wondered where the sweetness was coming from:

raw egss? no
banana? maybe
milk? no

the ingredients on their own are not as sweet as the drink i’m enjoying right now.
this could be a good post for me to analyse the theory that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, but i’m taking a different spin on it...

you see, had i put sugar in it would have tasted sweeter and been less healthy. Besides, it really didn’t need sugar.

let’s think metaphorically:
the eggnog = our lives
the sugar = sin

we are sweet enough without sugar. in fact, we don’t sugar. sugar just stuffs us up and sugar just makes us less nice. less natural. more fake.

i wonder about how things are today and how we see God as the enemy instead of Sin being the enemy. We make our was with God and with religious institutions. But i can see why we do this. Why fight sugar when it’s cheap and tastes nice?

lyrics


even the most catchy melody has to have good lyrics.

it’s hard to realise that the tune i’d been whistling for years had no words.
