Can Papayas Make You Sick?

I recently discovered papayas.  Not that I haven't seen them on the local grocer's shelf before.  But not until recently I decided to go ahead a give one a try.  Remembering that I have tried them before and I had liked them a lot, I was thrilled to bring two large fruits home.

I decided to eat one for breakfast.  Once I sliced it open and tried it, I was in heaven! It was delicious! So without hesitation I ate the whole thing in one sitting.  Few days later I delightfully repeated the same process with the second fruit.  That's when everything went wrong.

That One Friend Who's Really Your Enemy

Have you ever had a friend, who was really your enemy? But you didn't even know that.  Not at first anyway, maybe not for quite a while. A friend who was friendly and smiling in your face, but talking dung behind your turned back?  Somebody who you thought was your friend, but one day you got a nice big stab in the back from that person? Maybe they lied to you, maybe they stole from you, maybe they cheated on you...

Didn't you feel hurt? Maybe you felt angry, maybe you wanted to get even and stab them back, hurt them the way they hurt you? You trusted them.  You thought they were your friend.  Didn't you wish somebody told you the truth, tell you who they really were? Didn't you wish, no matter how painful the truth, that somebody told you what they were up to?
