The Life-Cream Cone

Usually, I’m a very adaptive person. I learn how to live under any circumstances.

I don’t claim that I’m carefree. I get stressed, I get mad but eventually, I always change my habits for the sake of living.

It’s not due being a hyper-intelligent alien lifeform that’s here to stay. It’s due to learning to evaluate the events of my life.

The silly thing is, that some of my biggest learnings came from silly things.

As I said, I know how to move forward. But there’re some things that are harder to accept.

Like someone or something messing with my food. I hate when I’m grabbing something to eat on the way to work and just drop the last bit on the floor.

But then again, I say to myself “Shit happens”. But the next event is what brings us to this articles essence:

A broken ice cream cone.

So, I bought an ice cream cone. When I unwrapped it, I realized that the cone was broken.

Here is how I had to eat my ice cream cone:

Now, in order to be able to keep the bowl and eat the ice cream, I had to eat the cone first.

I had to eat it fast in so the remaining ice cream doesn’t melt, sacrificing that way the pleasure.

I got highly annoyed, but something came out of it. You see, I realized why this annoyed me so much.

It was the fact that the ice cream cone is built to be consumed in a certain way.

Life’s exactly like that. You have to experience things in the right order.

I mean, a poor guy will learn how to live like a billionaire; but God, being a billionaire that has to learn how to be poor is harsh.

Although my cone was broken, most one the other cones in the shop, probably weren’t.

So, in case your “life’s cream cone” seems broken, you either find a way to consume it, risking the experience, or go buy a new one.

There is a choice!
