The Lesson

You must learn that you cannot be loved by all people.

You can be the finest apple in the world, ripe,
juicy, sweet, succulent
and offer yourself to all

But you must remember that there will be people who do not like apples.

You must understand that if you are the world's
finest apple, and someone you love
does not like apples, you have the
choice of becoming a banana.

But you must be warned that if you choose to
become a banana, you will be a
second-rate banana.

But you can always be the finest apple.

You must also realise that if you choose to be
a second-rate banana there will
be people who do not like bananas.

Furthermore,

You can spend your life trying to
become the best banana - which is
impossible if you are an apple - or
you can seek again to be
the finest apple ....
