How Becoming A Fruit Inspector Can Give You A More Satisfying Love Life

IN HINDSIGHT

Have you ever looked back on a disastrous relationship and wondered, "Why didn't I see him/her for the jerk they were from the very beginning?"

When we embark on a relationship, we want to believe the best in our partners, well because we love them. We tell ourselves "no one is perfect!," and that is very true.

However, there comes a point when we realize we are not just dealing with a partner's minor character flaws, but core negative behaviors which ultimately become toxic to the relationship - and us.

A TREE IS KNOWN BY...

What we need to do is learn to become better "fruit inspectors."  

Now the fruit I'm speaking of isn't literal (like peaches or plums), but the tell-tale signs most human beings demonstrate which gives us a peak into their true nature. In other words, it is the fruit of their character.

This concept originates from the old adage, a tree is known by the fruit it bears, taken from the biblical passage found in Matthew 7:17-18. In it, we are reminded that a good tree bears good fruit, and a corrupted tree bears corrupted fruit.

THE LITMUS TEST

Human beings are not much different. Let's face it, when we first begin dating someone, we tend to show our partners only the very best parts of us.  Furthermore, many people tell their partners only what they think they want to hear, in order to win their continued affection.

Like the good and corrupted tree,  a person will eventually reveal their true nature by their fruit.  The trick is for us to be aware and observant of this fact of life.

By carefully observing to see if what our lovers say matches what they actually do, we will be able to  see many warning signs that can help us take the detour away from heartache and pain.
