A Metaphor

A very talented mother brought in this cake for her daughter sweet 16th birthday last night at work.  It looked like a beautiful cake, with so many delicious surprises inside.

Unfortunately like so many things in our society today, too much time was spent on the outside and not on the inside.  The inside was a disappointment, very dry, not much flavor and needed some work.

I prefer my cake, just like my friends, with depth, intelligence, reflection and a little bit messy on the outside.
