The Divine Dichotomy of Girl Guide Cookies

Today, while eating a whole God Damn box of girl guide cookies, I came to a deeper understanding of the universe. You see it's intrinsically simple, black and white, or should I say chocolate and vanilla! The universe like the cookies is a dichotomy. The cookies exsist on the same grounds as Hinduism, much like Shiva and Brahma, exsisting in eternal conflict, one creates while the other destroys. It must be understood that there is no good or evil among chocolate and vanilla, they require each other to maintain there balance. Vanilla must be bland in order for the chocolate to be as sweet, they thrive in there balance. Vanilla in it's blandness creates a longing for chocolate. The chocolate itself is good but the vanilla prevents us from abusing it's sweetness. The joy of chocolate equals the discomfort of vanilla, a delicate balance. A metaphor or dare I say microcosm, our universe, life, in a box of cookies.
