The perfect peach

Yesterday, I tasted a most delicious peach.

Why is it that today’s peach wasn’t so good.

In fact it was poor.

Very mealy, it had hardly a flavor and it was as if all the juice had been rung dry.

My initial impulse was to throw that peach out.

After all I was expecting since it looked about the same as yesterdays peach, that it would taste as good.

I mean isn’t that logical?

Why shouldn’t this peach taste as good as yesterdays?

But something compelled me to eat that poor mealy peach.

And I have to say that the whole experience was beautifully unsatisfactory.

How brilliant, this state of mind that is enslaved by expectation.

And this enslavement can even take the form of a poor peach.
