    Yep. I like to use foods as a metaphor. You see, I hate olives. But I’m physically capable of making the choice to eat them by the handful, with a big grin, and proclaim my love for them to the world.

    I can do that… But it wouldn’t change the fact that I hate olives.

      Not the best metaphor, because you can force yourself to like a food by continuing to eat it.

        Perhaps the better metaphor would he cilantro. Which to some people tastes like soap. Though sometimes I wonder if I also think it tastes a bit like soap, and maybe I’m just less picky
