What is

I think I start out most of my thoughts by saying to myself..what if. I feel more grounded in reality today...... So, unfortunately for me, my what if's and what is's are bumping into each other. I've had two disappointments this year concerning what if's and what is's, I'll share...... A disappointing secret slipped out on a receipt from Sonic Drive-IN that a Cherry Limeade is a sprite soft drink...... I had't had such a rude awakening since the secret sauce on the big mac was revealed to be thousand island dressing.... That is no little incident when you are still thinking that what if's outnumber what is's. ..... So then, using sprite instead of a secret ingredient - named or unnamed makes me feel as if another domino is falling down taking magic out of life. I thought limeades were so special but they're not PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, they're just ordinary sprite..... Another disappointment came when a selfish reality seeker, a what is, described how a taste is just a certain chemical reacting to a receptor that you've got on your tongue. That bothers me 'cause I like the taste of strawberries but now I know strawberries are just an illusion. The secret ingredient is a stupid chemical. Must we know everything !!!!! The world has too many sharp edges to run into without magic somewhere out there providing a little cushioning. Period.....
