Forrest Gump Was Not Entirely Correct

In the film, Forrest Gump, Forrest famously philosophized that, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get."  And he was not wrong. You don't know what you are going to get. But according to him, regardless of which one you choose, you still have a chocolate. And well, hey, chocolate. Right?  Chocolate is celebratory, it's special occasion (even if the occasion is Tuesday afternoon) it's decadent (death by chocolate anyone?) and has some serious history behind it.
​I maintain that in addition to the above, life is also like a batch of good home made biscuits. Stop laughing.  Biscuits are simple things, as life should be simple.  They are cozy and homey and comfortable, as your life should strive to be.  Making biscuits is easy, as long as you follow directions and pay attention, just like life can be easier for the same reasons.  Much like life, a person get really good at making biscuits with practice.  As simple as they are, one mistake can ruin a batch, just like one mistake can ruin your life.  The best biscuits require a lot of leaving it alone, don't mess it them too much, just like life, stop messing with it.   And just like life, it takes heat to bring them to perfection.  I've never met anyone who didn't like homemade biscuits, although  some more than others. Same goes with life.
​I think I've made my point.  Move over Forrest, Chocolate is wonderful but sometimes, life is also like a batch of biscuits.
