The Orange tree

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, right? I think that is more like “Do unto others as someone did unto you”. This is how most people operate in their lives. It’s such a cruel cycle how things just keep going around and around. Most people really want to be good I think. They try to put a goodfoot forward, but they usually fall somewhere along the way because that's the only way shown them. I think it’s like walking a rigid path you see foot steps so you followthem, it might be a difficult road and you could see an easier path on the other side, but it shows no signs that someone walked there before. You just follow those steps of the hard road because you are too afraid to venture to the unknown. That is how we are in life. We treat people the way were treated. That does not make it right of course not its makes it sad. We are like orange tree turned sour by the events in our live that makes us a lemon tree. We can not appreciate the goods things because we have allowed all the bad things to make us jaded.
For myself I enjoy the sweetness of life like a glass of sweet orange juice. Then situation comes along they turn a little sour. I can taste the bitterness in my mouth, but I will not let that turn me into a lemon tree.
Jay-Z said, “Brush that dirty of your shoulder”, that is what I do I brush all the care of life of my shoulder. It’s not worth it most time anyway. People do not seem to know how to treat a good thing good when they get it. They are so use to being abuse and neglected that when something good comes along they can not appreciate it. Some people are happy being in a sad state I think it gives them something to bitch about. When I feel that bitterness in my mouth I wash it out laughter. Laughter heals me its makes my fruit sweet again. I will be like that tree that is planted on the waters edge unmovable, green, and well watered. My fruits will remain sweet. When my oranges fall to the ground and rot I will not fear or feel discourage because I know that it will feed my roots my foundation and bring forth another like myself with even sweeter fruits. So when situation try to kill me and bring my sweet fruits to the ground and I feel all bitter and sour I will keep hope that I will live again this time a stronger, bigger, and sweeter tree. Bitterness has no place in my mouth I will wash it out with laughter because laughter is so sweet.
