Be Yourself

You must learn that you cannot be loved by all people. You can be the finest apple in the world, ripe, sweet, succulent and offer yourself to all.

But you must remember that there will always be people who don’t like apples.

You must understand that if you are the world’s finest apple and someone you love doesn’t 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 become a second-rate banana, there will always be people who don’t 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 try again to be the finest apple!

I am allergic to apples. I love them, but only when in perfect condition. Otherwise they give me an unpleasant itch (just throat, ears).... What does that mean?

Probably means you should stick to first class bananas!
