I yearn to understand the sweet and sour life. Sometimes life is sweet. Sometimes life is sour. Over our lives, all of us will have sweet and sour. If we understand this, we don't crave the sweet or reject the sour.
In fact, in food, having sweet and sour together can be delicious, interesting, and rich.
This is related to another idea: All the emotional colors of the rainbow. Understand, and then learn to paint your life with all the emotional colors of the rainbow. Not just the sweet colors, and not just the sour colors.

Poem
Nothing is Enough //
Or everything is not enough. //
I have a hunger... ////
The hunger is me. //
If I feed it, it wants more. //
Mostly, it wants something else. ////
A wise person, said STOP. //
