Remember Forrest Gump and his famous quote? "Life is like a box of chocolates," he said, "You never know what you are gonna get." Well... no. Life is NOTHING like a box of chocolates. It is true that you don't know what you are going to get. But not everything you get handed has a sweet after-taste. Life is more like a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans from Honeydukes (for all non-Harry Potter readers - it is a sweet treat quite like jelly beans or gummy bears but with a magical twist). You may get lucky and pull out a caramel flavoured bean or a chocolate sundae-flavoured one or your unlucky streak may make you pick a earwax-flavoured one or a one that tastes like yesterday's cabbage soup. So yeah. Life doesn't always deal out desserts or the best hand at poker. All we can do is learn from experience and know which beans will taste of what and throw the horrid-tasting ones back in the bag.
