The Highest Prize
It's strange how after so long, and so many mistakes along the way, the most scarce is still what we want.
Surely there's only one Katy Perry, and one Angelina, but among friends, there's always that elusive one that you want; whom you hope for and wait for ages for the right time, that doesn't.
Somehow, you always want the highest fruit from the highest tree, rather than picking something within reach. But are the highest apples really sweeter than the ones on the lower branches? How about those on the floor? Some are ripe for the picking..
Where are you on that tree? Way way up getting lots of sunshine but only those fit enough can get up, or on the lowest branch getting lots of nutrients where anyone who bothers to stretch can give it a go? Or somewhere in between? Or just on the floor trampled by everyone and anyone?
But amazingly, man thrives on curiousity and challenges. We still want that highest fruit. Cos the highest fruit, is the highest prize, literally.
