| I am privileged to have indulged in a life long addiction of such out-of this-world delicacies as Japanese Sashimi, Foie-Gras de Strasbourg, Russian Beluga Caviar, Maine Lobsters, Smoked Sturgeon, or some of the most extravagant desserts ever prepared by a four star French culinary chef. I have emptied countless bottles of top-of-the–line French champagne and Bordeaux “Grands Crus Classés” wines. And I have even thoroughly enjoyed a simple beef or a pork sausage on a stick, roasted on an open fire, with a glass of nice cool beer.
Yes, I have taken an extensive pleasure from all these special enjoyments meant to add the extra layer of icing to life’s delicious cake. And yet, the sweet mountain of mouthwatering goodies that fill my lustful mind is melting away like a snowman in spring, when I think about that other delicacy without which there wouldn’t even be a human race in the first place.
You know what I mean.
And the best part of that other delight and exquisite gift of nature it is that it is not tied to a strong dollar which appears to have become society’s yardstick for measuring potential pleasures. Even though it might not even last a fraction of the useful life of your beautiful car, your gorgeous mansion, or that high definition TV set, the intensity of those moments of pleasure remain unsurpassed by any other drug.
Thank you, Mother Nature, for leading us to the shiny path of Equal Opportunity! |
