Once upon a time, I had a cake but I wasn't satisfied then - I wanted the option of eating it also. At that time, I thought that savoring my cake was more meaningful than just plain staring at it.
But now that I've had the opportunity to take a bite of the cake, I'm not sure whether I want to continue stuffing my face with it.
(A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, perhaps?)
Come to think of it, the taste wasn't that divine either.
And now I'm beginning to yearn for the sight of my beautiful, used-to-be whole, oh-so-perfect cake.
Will I ever get a chance to have my cake and eat it too?
Only time will tell.
Until then, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you."
- Lao Tzu
