Life is like a box of chocolates…
you never know what you are going to get.
You don’t know what you are going to get? You don’t? I mean, really. You really don’t know? Life is like a box of chocolates, and you do not know what you are going to get? What part of a box of chocolates that you don’t understand?
.
If life is like a box of chocolates, and if you know you’re opening a box of chocolates, what other than chocolates do you think you’re going to get? I mean, here it is… a box of chocolates in your hand. And you’re looking at a box of chocolates. Yes, chocolates. Do you seriously think you are going to get some pearl earrings in the chocolate box or something? I mean, honestly! Or do you think it could turn out to be a box of worms instead?
.
So okay, you might not know what each chocolate is filled with. Fine. Fair excuse. But for crying out loud, do you really need to know everything? Does it kill you if you don’t know whether you’re going to bite a chocolate filled with almond or hazelnut? Goodness gracious! Help me here, will you? For stating the obvious, if life is like a box of chocolates, and you like sweet creamy chocolates. Would you ever go get a box of bitter chocolates just to surprise yourself or something?
.
Likewise, if you know your passion in life is nothing but the seashores, would you go build your house on top of a mountain?

True… I think it means life can be “sweet” if you choose it to be… with some surprises mixed in… could be good or bad… maybe one of his teeth can’t handle the hard hazelnut… ;-)!
I am with you on this. I was arguing it with my other half about it and dia ckp, benda mcm tu pun you nak question and highlight. And my argument was just like what you wrote in this entry. Even if you do not know the filling inside you can always refer to the picture at the back of the box where they normally write the descriptions unless of course you yourself would like to surprise yourself kan and choose not to know.
But then again this is Forest Gump we are talking about, the same Forest yang tahap pemikirannya adalah sebaya dgn budak yang berumur 7 tahun. So he is excused lol!
Nida, jom gi makan cake kat Little White Cafe nak? ajak si busy Lish sekali.
I agree, I thought I was the only one who was against that quote … what was that movie again. Oh, Forest gump.
Keep on writing Che Nid…
Take Care.
Given the context, I think the quote is okay Nik. I just believe that life is the result of our own choices in life. We do know what we’re going to get. Once in a while, yeah, there are surprises. But we can manage our expectations by managing our options.
