Bread and Rose

It sucks to be stuck in a situation of having to choose between Bread and Rose.

The outsiders, the logical and the realists forming a group what I would call the 'Sane' would of cos' pick up the Bread anytime.
It's not even a choice. Can you hold on to the beautiful rose and count on it for survival?
No.When you need a bread, you need a bread. You need it for your stomach, you need it for strength, you need it as an asset!

The dreamers, the romance @ heart, the emotional form another group what I then call the 'Insane' would find their hands wavering towards the Rose.
What is the point of picking up a piece of dough when it is not filling your heart?
The emptiness of a heart can be pretty scary. Mental hunger can kill you faster than physical hunger. When your heart is hungering for something, it sends the illogical signals to your brain which then the most powerful organ (Ok, I know brain is not an organ but what is it?) in your body would manipulate you.
Can you promise to be happy or would you find yourself detesting yourself eventually and be that hungry beggar @ heart?

What would you choose if you have to pick only one?
Don't assume your answer too soon cos' I know most people would tell me that they'll pick Bread over Rose.
You are saying that too soon cos' you are NOT putting yourself in the shoes. You are saying as a stand of an outsider.

IF you are really in the situation, go and picture the scenario.
Putting aside that you need a house, you need a car, you need a bag and a Bread could help you with that.
Just imagine if you really have to choose one, knowing one role could not fulfill what the other can give. What would you pick?

Would you choose a life whereby you are perhaps never have to worry about being too hungry BUT ended up in a situation whereby your emotion needs are never fulfilled, not even close?
Or would you choose a life whereby you can live rich in the heart but perhaps shabbily in the eyes of the others and of cos' there are alot less things you can afford?

Go figure.
