The Seed Of Secrets
My Orange Glass Theory came to my mind while enjoying a glass of orange juice in the morning.
We’ve all heard the phrase “when life gives us lemons, make lemonade” but have you ever heard about oranges?
This luscious, pulpy citrus fruit embodies the essence of our life. Each layer peels away… revealing a new form. The outermost layer is hard…. while the innermost layer is soft and the deepest layer contains the seed of secrets.
When people look from the outside they cannot see the seed that is buried deep within, yet it is this seed that contains the secret.
Our deepest true selves are like distinct segments of an orange… representing different phases of our lives. Although these phases may not be equally distributed yet each has its unique taste contributing to the zest of life.
Afterall, we are all looking for the fruit of life that will provide us with an inner sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
The comparison of two different oranges is where we go wrong. Although they are the same fruit (people), each has a unique flavour and sense of life.
Some people may receive that essence from reaching new heights in their work lives, while others may get it from relaxing during the day or pursuing their ambitions. We all have our version and different perspective; where we divert the essence of life is our perception.
One is born with a unique skill that another may struggle to accomplish therefore, genuine knowledge comes from discovering and developing your own essence of life. This will ultimately result in peacefulness, self-satisfaction and appreciation for yourself and others.
We should not compare different oranges placed in a basket but rather recognise that each has its own unique character. Life becomes a lot simpler and easier to deal with if we learn about and accept the unique essence that each person has to give.
The world has a place to store all its oranges…. each with its own unique essence, so what do you think about how many oranges are too many oranges?
