The Power Of Sweetness

An idea that occurred to me. It says in Shulchan Aruch [yo"d simman 81] that whatever falls into honey is transformed into honey. That is why we are not concerned with the legs of the bees that fall into the honey [which are not allowed to be consumed] because they are halachically transformed into honey.

A person is the same way. If you are sweet enough you can magically transform those around you to honey. A woman [אשה is gematria דבש] can transform her bitter husband into a sweet person. A mother her child. A Rebbe his talmid. And yes sweet friends - it works the other way around as well. A talmid can make his Rebbe sweeter, a child his parent, a husband his wife.

Sweeeeeet!!!
