LOVE

heart_apples Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples up top think something is wrong with them when in reality they are amazing. They have to wait for the right boy to come along the one who is brave enough to climb to the top of the tree!

GIRLS!!! LISTEN TO WHAT THIS HAS TO SAY!!! It has sooooo much truth to it. NEVER let a guy make you fall into his lap. Take control and wait for that perfect guy that God will lead to you. Don’t stoop down to the ground so you can get the guy. Mr. Right will find you.

Same goes for guys. Don’t pick the apples up off the ground. There is a PERFECT apple waiting for you to pick her in the tree. You just have to look for her. God has put her in the tree for you and you only. Do not worrie if you cant see her from the bottom of the ladder. Climb higher and you’ll eventually find her.

We were made to have a significant other. Its in our DNA to want that special person. They will make us feel whole, not holey. Keep that in mind.

    well, it is completely natural for apples, when ripe and ready for eating, to fall off the tree. the fact that it fell off the tree is a testament to the ripeness of the apple. it is because the apple is grown and ripe that it falls. just from an agricultural standpoint.

    when it falls:
    it can bruise( be picked by the wrong boy) and it may not finish growing(maturing)
    be careful when u raech for those ground-apples richard...they may be filled with ants(so could the ones on the tree, but less likely)
    That's my 2 cents

    no, no, no Taquito. i said nothing about taking the apples OFF the ground. assuming the farmer only wanted 1 apple, which if we transfer the analogy would be the most likely (that is, the guy only wants one girl, the farmer could find an apple (or a few if they are close to each other), and watch them. When one of them falls, which means the perfect ripeness, he catches it as it falls right into his hand.

    okay, hey. but if the farmer watches two, but arent close together, he stands in the middle. this makes the apple above him think he wants her, when in reality he is waiting for the other two. then the farmer is bored of waiting for the other apples so also watches the one above him. then he somehow decides he wants the other apple. so he moves just as the apple that used to be above him is ready to fall, but then he isnt there anymore. he is gawking at an apple that doesnt want to fall to him.
    true life.

    that is why the farmer would likely watch apples that are in a close proximity. that way he could be ready for both.

    Taquito-
    Say that there as no farmer, that the tree grew from all the love in the world
    wouldn't boys "love" girls more so that there would be more of them?
    sad, I know, but boys are like that, they'll do anything to get what they want, then when they know that can't obtain it, they set another goal...you see, a boy's life is a cycle, and it rotates around girls,the cycle only stops when the boy has found the perfect girl

    Taquito-
    and yes jojo, i am old enough to figure that out
    but no matter how old boys get, they'll never get this process (with a few exceptions)
    How Sad :(

  14. RichOctober 18, 2011 at 4:06 PM

    i assume you meant "is" not "as" Taquito.

    assuming that this tree is on a farm, implied by the fact the there is a farmer, the tree likely grew by the farmer planting a seed, lets call it the seed of love, which grew into a tree, lets call it the tree of love. The apples (at this time just blossoms), or girls, which grew on the tree of love, are any girls that the guy ever even thought about (which is likely very many). but just like not all blossoms turn into apples, not all of these girls develop in the guys' mind. only some do. then the apples that grew from the blossoms grow. a few will grow large and a few wont. only those that grow large, will the farmer consider. and besides the tree doesnt have to be big for that one girl to grow on it

    and that is a huge generalization. a guys life is not a cyclic as you claim. girls are only a small part of a guys life.

    here is where the analogy breaks down in usefulness. yes, it took a while to find it. yes, no one probably even checks this post anymore. But i wanted to make the point anyway.
