Lessons Learned

The fruit vendor beckons me with a ripe plum in her hands. "Taste one " she says. Temptation gets the better of me and I accept her offer. I bite into the wine colored fruit and my expectations come to rude halt. Instead of the sweet citrus taste I was expecting, all I got was a bitter acidic assault on my tongue. I move on without a second glance.

Life is an awful lot like grocery shopping. Sometimes all it takes is one person to lose your faith in people.
