Tell me,
Does the scarlet of a rose
surpass the turquoise of a tulip?

Which is larger:
The savouriness in poultry
Or the sweetness of candies?

How much more
Is the descant of a soprano
Than the rumble of a bass?

Honestly,
I'm not really certain.
But I trust what you tell me is right.
People are always trying to place a comparative title on everything. However, with some things, there just is no good or bad. There is no more or less. There just... is.
As people, we try too hard to place a quantitative value on qualitative things.
And even if we don't know why we do this, we trust it's right -- because hey, everyone else is doing it, yes? Society says it's okay, so it has to be.
Right?

Be proud of your freckles, your forehead, your hair, your fingers.
They're not better or worse than anyone else's.
But they're yours.
And they're amazing.

Bring forth the sacrifice
This offering of the wheat
Savour the softness and aroma
Now, reveal the first treasure
The gift from the ground
Spread it richly on the offering
Then, unveil the fruity blessing
Spread wisely, but do not be stingy
Now, proceed with the ritual
The sacrifice will bring forth
A new experience of taste!
Feel the sweetness burst in you!
Let the savouriness spread in you!
And after you are done, if still unsatisfied
...
Make yourself another
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
