Favorite verse: Proverbs 27: 7

The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but the to hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

For some reason, this made me think of parents and children. My parents love me a lot, and show me their love to the point where it annoys me. But children in foreign countries or in foster care have no parents, so if they happen to find a guardian that treats them badly sometimes, but with love another, they will love them anyway because they don't feel love often.

Or maybe I'm crazy.
