Life is like a Fugu fish!
Living the life is much like eating the Fugu fish.
The Fugu fish is most delicious yet very vey poisonous. The poison is said to be 1000 times deadlier than Cynide.
In Japan, chefs go through 2-3 years of apprenticeship and training to learn cooking of Fugu fish. They learn the location and technique of poisonous portions. Finally they go through a test and become a licenced Fugu Chef.
Similarly life has many hazards and is also full of deadly and painful poisons.
To survive the life happily one should know how to avoid partaking the poison and enjoy the delicious bits.
The poisonous parts are poor habits leading to ill physical and mental health, burdens of guilts, obsessions, grievances etc. The delicious parts are compassion, forgiveness, contentment, good health and reconciliation to oneself and the universe in general.
Enjoy the Fugu that life is ! Cheerio!
