"If you're going to get fat, don't get fat on pop-tarts." 

People that see my sayings are often confused as to whether or not they mean something. I often mix it up, sometimes coming out with something completely random and other times coming out with something that relates to a very deep topic. This would be one of the sayings that would most likely be presumed to be meaningless... but it is a liar. This saying has loads of meaning packed inside, and I hope that I will be able to explain it all in this post.

You slice a piece of moist chocolate cake. As your silver sword to victory cuts through, a dribble of chocolate makes its descent to the clean plate below. Your finger reaches for the icing, white and in all of its purity. You dip your finger in carefully, as if you were regretting breaking the clean surface, and then greedily force it out and upwards with more than should be on the tip. A crooked smile lets itself out from its hiding place, and your eyes light up. Your nose takes in the scent of the delicious thing before you, and your mouth forms a memory of a taste.

I would say that chocolate cake is worth getting fat on. To relate this to something actually really meaningful, you have to look a bit deeper.

The message of this is that it has to be worth your while. There are many people who rush through a day or even a year completing important tasks for certain things to be done, or spending money for people, or bringing up the courage to fight for something unable to fight for itself. The way I sort things out in my life is this simple question: Is it really that important? If I am out playing with one of the horses and I cannot get past a certain point because one of my horse's thresholds, should I get frustrated? No, because getting to a certain point is not as near as important to me as sustaining my horse's confidence. Similarly, if you are going to the store to get one loaf of bread for sandwiches that are being made for two people... Is it worth it? It depends upon your way of thinking, but to me, I would just roll up some turkey, ham, and cheese and call it an indoor picnic. Why not?

There are so many people who get stressed out over the littlest, or something the largest, things. Either way these things mean nothing. It does not matter how big or small their significance may seem. When it is weighed against the more important things, you will find that these tally up to close to nothing. To figure out how to keep yourself from getting stressed or using the wrong judgment, all you have to use is this simple rule: Is getting fat over a pop-tart worth it? For me, no way.
