Or, how I learned to love the forbidden fruits
I cannot say why it was that I was so drawn to these simple fruits, this banana and apple, sitting there on my desk, ordinary in every respect. Yet, my attraction was immediate and unflagging. Something about the curves of these delicate fruits seemed so perfect as if they were not of nature at all. I looked at the soft skin protecting the sweet juices inside and I pondered whether I would enjoy eating them any more than I would enjoy admiring them. Ah, such is the dilemma of life, the destruction of what pleases you in the pursuit of every last possible pleasure. In the end, I ate them both and enjoyed them thoroughly. Yet, having eaten, I found myself hungry again and once more searching for a delicate fruit to consume.
