Analogy...

I'll start out by saying that the concert was pretty awesome! Some girl wanted to beat me up cause I said something "rude" about her brother. She was really drunk...my advice...don't laugh at an angry drunk person. Kind of makes the situation worse. She let me off with just a threat.."I'll put your nose where it belongs!" It was pretty funny. We were pretty far back and the words were hard to understand, but I was there, and it was worth it to hear "Better Now"!

Now for the purpose of the post. I have an analogy and would like your input.

To find out for sure that I was lactose intolerant I went completely off dairy for 7 days. On day 8, I had cereal, with milk. The milk was awesome...you know when its like super cold and fresh and oh so delicious?! I enjoyed it immensely! Within half an hour, I had extreme pains in my stomach. Not very happy. Now I love milk, and this was hard to take. I haven't drank real milk for about a year. I often wonder if I should try it and see if I am still lactose intolerant. Would it be worth it to have a tall glass of cool, delicious milk, with the possibility of no pain? My allergies could be gone...but there is the possibility that the pain will come back. Now, I'm of course not asking you if I should try milk again but rather.....Is the pleasure or enjoyment worth some pain?
