A Series of Thoughts

Scenario 1

You love chocolate. You love chocolate so much that you bought yourself a big chocolate cake. A bigggggg chocolate cake it is. You cut a piece and indulge.

*ting tong* (the door bell rings)

You have chocolate all on your lips and in your mouth. You hate the break in momentum when you are indulging in your feast. You peek at the peephole. Shoot! Its the nosy neighbours next door.

You hide your cake quickly. This is my cake. I am not going to share it with some nosy neighbours.

You wipe your mouth quickly and erase any evidence of the chocolate. You open the door and awoo awoo and an exchange of pleasantries. Awooo awoooo... and a whole of lot of chatting. Finally, the neighbour left.

You went to back to your "hidden feast". When you are about to take another bite...

*ting tong* (the door bell rings again)

You curse under your breath and put the cake away... again. You peep again at the peep hole and this time you see the grinning face of your brother.

Dang! He loves chocolate cake. He can finish a whole cake in 10 mins. You decided to hide the cake in your room.

Brother comes in and awooooo awoooo... he tells you about his misery. Awooooo Awoooo... he tells you about the lady driver that was driving so slow in front of him on his way here. Women drivers. Bah! He says. (all the more not to share the chocolate cake with him)

He went awoooo awoooo.. and went on and on about this and that. You wonder when he's gonna stop and go home. Awoooo awooo.. and he tells you he's hungry. Awoooo awoooooo.. then he left.

You closed the door and was about to walk to your room when..

*ting tonggggggggg* (the door bell rings yet again)

*%^&&**@$^^#^#**@@%^&*$*@$%^ You cursed away. Who can it be now. You yanked the door open and there stood the love of your life. You know he loves chocolate cake too. You know he can finish the cake just as fast as your brother.

You asked if he would like to go out to eat. You took your purse quickly and went out with him. You went dining and dancing the night away. You came home late and flop onto your bed and slept away.

When you finally awake, you remembered your chocolate cake. You went over to where you left it and...

bummer... a whole battalion of ants are on it. *LOL* There goes your chocolate cake.

Selfish little idiot. Why didn't you share in the first place. Why can't you ask your neighbour in and have some tea and cake. Why can't you cut a big piece for your brother when he came by. Why can't you enjoy the cake with the love of your life.

Lesson 1 : Sharing is Caring. Selfishness will get you very happy chocolate covered ants with big smiles.
