wow, I really don't make any sense...yes!!!!!!!!
As I look into this ginormous jar of mixed nuts from costco, I find myself rifling through it, shaking it, so I can find the glorious almonds. Why am I going through all the rest of the nuts just to find my favorite in this mix? I'm not quite sure. I do like them that is true, but are they really all that better or am I on a crazed path to find them for no other reason than to eat them before anyone else gets a crack at 'em. So is it gluttony or greed that makes me do this?
The other nuts are perfectly tasty, but for some reason I overlook them for the precious almond. What right do I have to forsake the other ones just to get what I want. Maybe subconsciously I'm weeding them out incase someone else wants the others but are not fond of the almond. My mom and I have had the discussion before that it in mixes everyone has their favorite and they eat that and someone eats another thing in the mix, and so on, so that evenutally the mix is gone and everyone is happy. (yes yes my mom and I did have a short convo about mixes before, yes it was embarassing, but that is what we talked about because we are just that awesome).
In this view am I just doing my family a favor by taking my favorite so that they can find theirs easier? Or should I be content with whatever comes at my grasp? It makes me think of life, do I only go for what I truly want, or just take what comes to me the easiest? wow, such thoughts coming from a jar of nuts...wow, I think I need to stop thinking about anything right now, nuts or not. This has just gone on too far, and I am obviously nuts (no pun intended of course) to even write this long about such a subject. I apologize, but you should think to yourself the next time you see a mix of some sort of deliciousness...are you helping yourself to what you want, letting the others find theirs, or are you just being greedy?
