Fresh Apple
Think about an Apple.
No – not the brand. I mean the fruit.
Think about a red, shiny, fresh apple, plucked from a green tree. Doesn’t it look good? This apple is a bundle of sweetness – full of that magical juice that will fill your mouth once your teeth bite into its dark flawless red skin.
Now think what happens when this apple is attacked by ants.
The color of the skin changes from the pretty dark red to muddy brown, the pearly white core following suit. There are narrow paths carved all around the surface, and the ants devour any portion of the apple they seem to like, leaving a trail of destruction behind. They gather in hordes covering the once pretty surface of the apple with their black insect bodies. The apple is no more fit for your consumption, and you feel disgusted picking up the same apple you imagined enjoying every bite of a little while ago.
I’m on a flight just now, and I looked out of the window. I saw the land cris-crossed with roads, houses, and towns made by us on our planet.
It somehow reminded me of what ants do to the apple.

nice philosophy!!liked it…
nice realization :)
one has to remember too that ven the apple is fully corroded, ants have to move on…
otherwise they’ll die….
so either they can prolong the duration of decaying or look for another apple…
Ants make roads into the apple without using any tool while man not only disturbs this lonely planet but uses tools and various materialsl also.
An imaginative analogy. Good one.
not so true…
the apple could have still got rotten if it remained even untouched a bit longer.
destruction is a part of the process. :|
there are people who are not as unconscious as ants, but, in the long run, (just like u saw from a long distance above), they realize the inability to avoid destruction. Many of such people finally decide to surrender for the peace in their lives. Others fight for the rest of their lives; they find peace in the fight.
