Pineapple is

a fruit of contrast- sweetness and thorns
nature's blend. The prickly thorns,
forewarn us to look for beauty
amidst spikes, just sweetness
would be insipid. The thorns are
a warning to the touch and a reminder
of the reality of the pineapple, showing as
a sorrowful being- the potential to cause
great pain. Merely to live without suffering
is limited gladness, joy is greater when admixed
with grief. Every pineapple has its thorns-
as every morning's light has its looming
night- a symbol of struggle, wherein lies
the sweetness. We too, are both sweetness
and thorns. Each evil habit of ours is a thorn
in our flesh. Many a prick we are inflicted with for
a thing like sweetness in the vast thorn field
of life.
