Proof is in the pudding

Conversely you might ask kids whether love is something bitter, you’d get the same answer. They won’t know until they have fallen for someone and felt it.

Love is not sweet through and through. Nor is it bitter from beginning to end. Love is kind of a mixture of the two. It’s bittersweet, sometimes becoming very painful indeed. And it is necessarily so, too. It is necessary because, you see, if there is no pain in love, for one thing, we will never be able to feel its joy. For another thing, if there were no pain in love (and life in general), all religions of the world wouldn’t have a chance, like, at all.

But seriously, love is bittersweet. To be in love is to run the gamut of emotions. It covers the full spectrum, from end to end. And I say again that the pain is necessary because it makes one appreciate the joy and sweetness of love even better. Therefore, I recommend that you learn to enjoy the painful part too. In fact, I’d go further and say you shouldn’t even mind tasting the painful part first.

But, I freely admit that the proof of love is indeed in the pudding. You’ve got to eat it to see what I mean.

All right, here are media examples of this typical American idiom:

1. The proof of the pudding is in its eating, women know better it seems, for a study has found that many females are too self-conscious to order a dessert in restaurants.

According to the study, women can spend up to 20 minutes deliberating over whether to have pudding, because they don’t want to be branded “unhealthy”.
