The case of sour grapes

Once upon a time there was a fox strolling through the woods.
He came upon a grape orchard. There he found a bunch of
beautiful grapes hanging from a high branch. "Boy those sure would be tasty," he thought to himself.
He backed up and took a running start, and jumped.
He did not get high enough.

He went back to his starting spot and tried again.
He almost got high enough this time, but not quite.

He tried and tried, again and again, but just couldn't get high
enough to grab the grapes.

Finally, he gave up.

As he walked away, he put his nose in the air and said:
"I am sure those grapes are sour."

Moral
IT IS EASY TO SCORN WHAT YOU CANNOT GET.


Maybe, at one point of times, im the fox, scornful of what i didnt actually get, thats why i was so bitter about the whole thing. i dont want to walk away from the grapes, scornful and bitter.

After all, this is the circle of life.. The fox was destined to walk the path where he would see the grapes. The grapes were in their rightful place and cant do anything but made the meeting inevitable. The grapes were not at fault for the attraction they presented to whomever that walked the path. the fox was not wrong for wanting something attractive..But, the thing is,they were not destined to each other. And the fox's reaction was not wrong either...

The most important thing was to understand that, everything happens naturally. It was not intended to harm, rather it is nature's thoughtful way of preparing us for journey ahead..

the sour grapes had actually calmed the storm for me..
