in response to apples
sorry that apple post on eric’s site peaked my interest. i’m sick of all these lame ass analogies that are supposed to make you feel good when they’re completely flawed, and are obviously written by people who these little quips are intended to give an ego boost to. however i do give kudos to these people for writing such musings for themselves, because at least they’re trying to take action about something they’re not happy with. definitely better than those that just sit stagnant.
anyways let us begin picking this apart.
girls are like apples on trees.
the best ones are at the top of the tree.
the boys don’t want to reach for the good ones
because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that arent as good, but easy.
so the apples at the top think something is wrong with them,
when in reality, they’re amazing.
they just have to wait for the right boy to come along,
the one who’s brave enough
to climb all the way
to the top of the tree
first of all apples ripen from the outside of a tree in, top to bottom first. so by this analogy, leaving the apples at the top and not touching them is a good idea..because the apples are probably over ripened and are about to fall to the ground. which highlighted by this analogy, apples on the ground are rotten. so why would i want an apple that is nearly reaching the end of it’s most appealing stage of devlopment?
i’d still want an apple from the bottom of the tree because it isn’t quite ripe yet.
apples that are mature and aren’t ripe yet will store longer. and for this aspect once again..i’d reach up to the bottom of the tree and pick. wouldn’t you want your perfect lady to last longer? than for a girl that’s only amazing for a short period of time?
there is one thing that’s correct..the guy that’s brave enough or often dumb enough to climb to that top of the tree for that instant satisfaction will find an amazing apple…but they will also quickly discover the taste dwindles much quicker and the apple quickly approach it’s rottenness.
the smart ones pick from the bottom…a girl thats mature..but not quite ripe yet. it’ll last much longer and you get to see it develop.
see here’s the secret to apple harvesters…they spot pick…you pick off the ripening apples top to bottom outside in…and you leave the rest..this actually allows the remaining apples to achieve greater size and flavour.
so if you were patient enough to wait for that girl in the middle…wait for the rotten ones to fall off the tree…pick off all the ripe apples at the “top” of the tree that are supposedly amazing…you’re actually unveiling something that’s even better.
oh yeah and as an apple becomes to ripen after being picked from a tree..it release ethylene gas which accelerates the ripening of other fruits…not to mention causing certain other fruits like potatoes and carrots to develop a bitter taste or grow sprouts…so never mix….that’s just a side note … you can take that for whatever you want.
but yeah…perhaps whoever wrote this should’ve watched polka dot door..and learned about apples.
