Sooner Or Later It Unravels

Tightly packed like a bulb of fresh garlic, you are impressed and ever so slightly intimidated by the assembly-like presentation. Everything is in place, not a strand of hair is out of place. Confidence is oozing and the words proceed like smooth oil. The carriage and comportment are forthright and the energy is assured.

This is how some people present themselves. They are crisp and well-manicured. You cannot but be impressed—awed, if you like. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a person putting their right foot forward and presenting themselves in the best possible manner.

As an observer of human beings and as a member of the human race, we must however not think of ourselves as any higher than we ought to. Even the very best of men starts to show some cracks with time, be it surface or structural cracks.

In the same way that the tightly packed garlic bulb starts to space out and disintegrate, so does man, given time. Sooner or later it unravels! That is just the way it goes!
