Thorns Thorns, Skin Skin.

Raffles is such a pain in the ass. I told him Durian is the king of fruits but he said Grape.

I explained that Durian has a distinct and unique taste that none other fruits possessed, whereas grape taste pretty much alike Guava or Berries.

Then he claimed that im sprouting nonsense when i added that every durian is like the art of drinking wine.

He added how can eating durian be the same as drinking wine when one uses the hand to eat messily while the latter is such an cultured activity.

I said you cant based entirely on the physical approach because understanding and finding a good durian is not as simple as it seems. It takes skill, just like grapes and wine.

Look at the thorns! How can a fruit be delicious which look threatening? he retorted.

Well, you wont know if it's good or bad grapes untill you taste it. Small doesnt mean it's the best, you know.

Okok. I like my skins, you like your thorns. So be it. Dont bother me with your rhetoric. Everyone has their own preferences.

Ok...It all depends on perception. Some people say the cup is half-full, some say the cup is half-empty.
