To quote Tom Hank's character in Forrest Gump,

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

I had a box of chocolates. I opened it. I ate some. Some tasted good, some tasted bad. I was going to continue eating my box of chocolates when...

Someone gave me another box.

Now I have to choose between the two boxes of chocolate.

The problem is, I'm not allowed to find out for myself what's inside the new box of chocolates. I will only know after I've chosen it and opened it to experience it for myself. All I know about the new box of chocolates is from what other people have told me.

But nothing ever beats experiencing it yourself.

So there lie the two boxes of chocolates.

I have to choose only one real soon. Once I make that choice, I can't go back. It's done. Once the new box of chocolates is opened, the old one will have to be closed. But I can hope that the taste lingers in my mouth. Or I could choose to keep the old box. And never ever find out what's inside the new one.



My head tells me to go,
But my heart says no.



Mind over matter?
