Today I heard a simile from Carlos which, he alleges, originates from Richard G. Scott. But I am too lazy just now to confirm.
Here it is:
The Holy Spirit is like a grape, a soft and sweet taste.
In our plugged-in world, with all our zangwow, we are trying to taste the grape while simultaneously eating a jalapeno.
Not easy.

The inspiring influence of the Holy Spirit can be overcome or masked by strong emotions, such as anger, hate, passion, fear, or pride. When such influences are present, it is like trying to savor the delicate flavor of a grape while eating a jalapeño pepper. Both flavors are present, but one completely overpowers the other. In like manner, strong emotions overcome the delicate promptings of the Holy Spirit. http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1117-2,00.html
