i went to the supermarket to buy groceries today. i like eating bananas and i eat one every morning. so i have to keep stocks. i usually buy the most common type of bananas. but today, my husband asked me if i would like the "emperor's bananas" -- the short ones -- that we found in the supermarket. i replied that i like any type of bananas. so we chose from the many bunches of emperor's bananas displayed on the rack.
some of them were not ripe. some were ripe but "damaged" and had "cuts" on the skin. my husband kept asking me which one i thought was ok. i replied that there must be defects in some of the bananas as there were more than ten bananas in a bunch. and i quoted a chinese saying, "ten fingers are of different lengths". so we just picked the bunch with the least "damaged" and continued our shopping happily.
i think this also applies to other things we have to handle every day. the bananas have taught us a life lesson!
yup... u r rite. this theory just matches with sth i thought about today. there must be some shortcomings for everything.
ReplyDeleteeverytime we choose which bunch to pick, we should not only concentrate on the ‘defects and cuts’, but also compare that with the one on our hand.
