"Thank God for the Belgian chocolate " , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas, 100 x 80 cm

“Thank you“ might be the hardest word to say. We may wonder, what can be so castrating about embracing gratitude? Some think it causes fear of loss, while it unleashes indistinct anxiety of losing independence or self-control. Gratefulness might come down to perpetual struggle against oblivion. It could amount to a lasting +-burden for maintaining the infallibility of their memory. In short, for some, thankfulness is a box of Pandora.

But chocolate can solve many problems. It is a relieving medicine that eases our existence and can turn life into a paradise on earth.

As its ethereal taste may find its origin in the pineal gland of our brains, it makes people happy and enraptures our spirit.

It provides moments of enjoyment and can transform lives into fairy tales.

It may even take us on a spiritual trip that confers surprising aphrodisiac powers.

Thank God, thankfulness will never cause any regret.
