Friendly Neighbors

It is said that in every bunch there is a bad apple. I would have to disagree. Metaphorically, there really are no good apples in the first place. We all sin, we all lie, we all know it. Comparing people to such sweet and innocent things as apples is unreasonable. Man kind is a selfish race, for human nature makes it so. Despite the many flaws of human nature, some of us manage to repress our selfish and sinful urges, and reflect only our presentable qualities. Those of us who do so are still not able to accurately be compared to good apples, for we still have sinful temptations. We may appear bright, red, and refreshing on the outside, but if one were to bite into our core, they would encounter our worms. For this reason, there are no good apples in the bunch at all, but amongst the rotting fruit of our kind, there are a blessed few of us with only a bruise or two.
