Oranges.


I bought some oranges few weeks ago, I have not finished them all so I decided to try one again after few weeks. I expected them to be a bit off by now because the skin is looking dry and shriveled. To my surprise it is still nice. I wonder why oranges lasts longer than other fruits, like maybe mangoes or avocados? Then I start analyzing and concluded that it is because of their thick skin. The skin protects the fruit from spoilage. They may not look nice on the outside but are actually good inside.

There are some people that are like old oranges, they may look like they have thick skin but that may actually a defense to protect their feelings. They have to be peeled off to see that precious personality hidden inside. We get the best of oranges by squeezing them but squeezing too hard may bring out some bitterness. Some people are like that too the best of them is seen when pressured but bitterness or resentment may come out when pressed too hard.

So what is my point? Don't judge an orange by it's skin , the best of them comes out when squeezed but squeezing too hard may bring some bitterness. Don't judge people by their looks or superficial character but a little squeezing is probably what they need to bring out and see the best in them.

There may be some diamonds in the rough out there but also there could be some fake diamonds. It will all come out after testing on fire or intense scrutiny or just in due time.

you could try that in court too " you cant judge me your honour i am no ta book"" but i bet you still get the fine

unless the skin is broken
oranges ten to stay edible even when old and shrunken

and some of the nicest folks i know are old and shrunken too
they too like a gentle squeeze

all that glitters is not gold [ or diamonds ]

you better use them with caution, do they have a use by date? Make sure you discard the rotten ones or those that are no good most definitely get rid of the useless once that only clutter your life. Be generous in using them if it will do good but keep them in the box (voice box is it? ) if it may cause harm.

Well, oranges or people should not be judged based on their outside looks..Some fruits or peeps look so good outside, but unfortunately rotten inside...lolz.
