A few weeks ago I bought a big bag of Starburst. I’ve been picking through them as I’ve gone on trips (they make a great road trip snack). Today I noticed the proportion of yellow Starburst left in the bag is far above what statistics would predict.
The reason, of course, is that I don’t like yellow Starburst. So when I reach into the bag to grab a couple, I toss back the yellows. Eventually I suppose the bag will contain nothing but yellows, and at that point I’ll just hand it to a friend or something.
The thing is, life is too short to eat yellow Starburst. Or, for that matter, to do things you don’t want to do if you don’t have to do them.
Enjoy the good things. And throw the rest back into the bag.
