Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this and I think that's very important and I can relate to this too. Isn't that torture, to get that one sweet pepper and go back for more, only to get so many hot peppers instead? It may be that this character may have found a sweet one before (there are variations of this story), that's why he keeps eating to find more. Or maybe they look like they
could be sweet. Or maybe it's the only thing he got and he desperately
needs them to be sweet.
In my case, since it's my mom, the person who gave me life, I
need her to be different. So I keep eating the hot peppers, find one that tastes kind of sweet, once in a while, believe there must be more (because my mom has to be sweet) and continue with the suffering of going back over and over again with the expectation that will inevitably be shattered again and again...
