The close contact with chocolate; in order to feel its happy effects

I ENJOY looking at objects through my camera, because the same objects look different from different angles as well as perspectives. Then one day, a chocolate came into the viewfinder of my camera. I always thought that chocolate was just a sweet snack but thorough the camera lens, it looked more special. After that I took pictures of chocolate whenever possible. 

   One day, I sensed the sweet and mellow scent of chocolate and I followed it. The place was the institute which teaches students how to make chocolate art. The brown chocolate liquid turned into art crafts, like the shape of Venus, a lotus flower and a pig in the skilled hands of the smiling “chocolatiers”. While taking photos of the beautiful chocolate, I found broken and abandoned pieces of chocolate in the corner. I felt a bit weird, because both art craft chocolate and dumped chocolate must have come from the same brown liquid and will be the same again when bitten into pieces in the mouth. It made me to think that human life is similar, because we were all born from our mother’s wombs but all have different looks and different lives.

   After developing an interest in taking photos of chocolate, I found out that there are so many kinds of chocolate, located in so many different places. Looking at the various kinds of chocolate itself made me happy, but looking at the faces of the people who are eating chocolate made me happier.

   While taking photos of those people, anyone can easily discover that making them smile is very difficult. When you place a camera near their faces, their faces suddenly become stiff. Nevertheless, it was a marvelous revelation that when I gave them chocolate so that they could eat while taking photos, they smiled more naturally. Of course, there are scientific explanations into why chocolates make people feel delighted, but I think that a gift of chocolate, presented with a sincere heart, delivers real happiness. I was touched by that fact, so I bought quite a lot of chocolate and gave it to my friends and my family as a present. The lighter my purse was, the happier I became. 
  
   On New Years Day, I took some chocolates out and gave them to my relatives. At first, my cousins chased each other in order to grab each other’s chocolates but soon, were sharing the chocolate happily. As more chocolates were melting in their mouth, their faces were getting brighter. Uncles, aunts and grandma were at first shy but soon welcomed the sweet happiness that the chocolate provided. The chocolate’s heart must be filled with pride as it made people happy by melting its body.

   Chocolate is very popular these days and there are different kinds of chocolate found almost everywhere. Most people just know that chocolate is sweet but they hardly realize the true value of chocolate. Pick any chocolate and give it to the person next to you. The size or the prize of the chocolate wouldn’t matter as long as it contains your true heart, and you will see that priceless smile. Why not buy some chocolate and share it with those you love?
