A Lesson from Cheese

[Chinchilla]

When I was a young boy, my parents divorced. I would see my dad when he was off one weekend every month. And one day we went to a gun show and I selected a five pound block of smoked cheddar as the item which my dad would buy for me. Now my dad hates cheese but he loved me and knew I wanted it badly so he forked over the $20 or whatever it was and I had my own block of smoked cheddar.

I went back to his home and ate some cheese that night with my favorite: Chocolate milk. It was a great weekend we spent together. But alas, I had to leave on Sunday for school and for my dad to work.

So it was another month before I went back to visit him.

I arrived at his house that evening and the first order of business on my agenda was to have a slice of smoked cheddar. We promptly pulled the cheese from the freezer and came to find a layer of mold had grown on the cheese.

I, in utter disappointment, exclaimed, "The cheese has gone old, Father!"

Then his response I will never forget all the days of my life, until I get Alzheimer's or dementia anyway. He says to me, "No, son. The cheese is still good inside." And with that he took a knife and cut the layer of mold off of the cheese revealing a perfectly good, dark yellow cheddar on the inside.

And indeed it was. It was good.

Now the immediate implication of this story is that the cheese may have appeared to be bad on the outside. But on the inside, this was a perfectly good block of cheese.

Can we for one moment look past external appearances? I may be widely hated for this display of emotion but doesn't this moral ring true, today, and tomorrow, and later on when I am gone? Should we judge the block of cheese for its supposed imperfection or blemish or should we rather look deeper into the cheese and find not what is externally repulsive but rather what is internally appealing?

Next time you guys meet someone new, please remember the block of cheese. Do not judge them on the vague and superfluous qualities (materialistic) that we so often judge people on but instead remember to look on the inside. We are all blocks of cheese, and on the outside we may be a little moldy and deformed or imperfect. But on the inside, we are a tasty and delicious treat, we are unique as individuals, and there are all different kinds of cheese. But there is a cow or a goat from whence that cheese came. There is a story behind that cheese that may not be all intriguing but if you get to know the cheese, you will find great pleasure this cheese will bring to you.

Do not miss out on a great and fantastic future over a little mold. If we are quick to judge the mold we overlook the story behind the mold.

Please take this to heart. Do not take this lightly. Remember the next time you see a girl who might have a crooked nose or yellow teeth, once you see past that you'll see she still has great hips and thighs. If we judge the cheese we will lose out on its nutritional potential. We learn from the cheese and we grow from the cheese. And I suggest that we as individuals need to grow up a little bit and realize the cheese is not our enemy, but rather, a potentially dear friend.

Thank you user Surf. I debated which forum to put this in but I think it falls under a general heading of world issues. It is indeed an issue in our lives, one of acceptance and tolerance for other peoples. It is also a world issue that we not judge and there are great lessons to be learned from the cheese that on a world-scale would make this a much better place.

[Meatplow]

analogies comparing mouldy cheese in comparison to people with something wrong with them ie. black people is just silly

[PerpetualBurn]

If your father had taken better care of the cheese it wouldn't have gone moldy.

Cheese abuse must stop. Full stop.

[Surf]

I for one will not until cheese mould has been eliminated

Hopefully one day I can visit my Gouda!

I'm sure he will appreciate my money to save him!

Can I be assured that he will never be allowed near an after dinner party?!

[PerpetualBurn]

You know what, I ate the gouda, so you should probably just forget about that last post.

What is this VF? I have never heard of this. Is this some sort of inside joke? I just registered to this forum today to share my views on cheese.

It may not have been five pounds but it was pretty close. It was a heavy little block of cheese. But I did not think this would become a cheese thread but rather an insightful one.

[Meatplow]

the insight is rather shallow

[Chinchilla]

Then enlighten me on what you might find insightful. I was not saying my post was insightful but that someone could offer some interesting points of view on cheese.

[StreetlightRock]

You were sorta doing well and had me going awww until I read this part and burst into laughter:

Remember the next time you see a girl who might have a crooked nose or yellow teeth, once you see past that you'll see she still has great hips and thighs

So much for avoiding surface eh? lol.

Well you have to realize there is all different kinds of cheese. There is swiss cheese, gouda cheese, provolone cheese, it is not to say that any cheese is better than any other cheese, it is just that they all have unique qualities about them and are all appealing to some.

[Meatplow]

cheese is ****ing cheese only pretentious douchebags believe it is not

[PerpetualBurn]

Tesco's Extra Value Mild Cheddar is pretty much just the worst cheese ever.

[Chinchilla]

Well I think we can all agree that blue cheese is quite offensive to sight and taste. I think we can also agree a blue woman is not of this earth. So we can see from this that it is not really a cheese.

down here we have generic home brand cheese from the supermarket, I made a lasagne with it once and there was a massive layer of oil on top. it's greasy ****

Very true.

cheese whiz isn't real cheese, and blue cheese is the finest cheese there is, i don't see the correlation at all?

i wasn't aware he had a point.

Apparently you have never had velveeta macaroni and cheese. It sure beats swiss macaroni and cheese. And the powdered cheese brand.

[Permanent Solution]

swiss is also gross.

most mac and cheese is gross unless you're like camping

Hey camping is fun. The only part I hate is cleaning the fish, I catch 'em everyone else prepares them. Nothing like waking up on a cold Saturday morning and frying some bacon on your little skillet outside your tent before the sun comes up. Wow prepositions galore!

Wow why can no one stay on topic?

[djtdub105]

provolone is where it's at. but to be on topic:

And with that he took a knife and cut the layer of mold off of the cheese revealing a perfectly good, dark yellow cheddar on the inside.


how does one take cut the layer of mold off a person?

[Chinchilla]

how does one take cut the layer of mold off a person?

Well no the point was that underneath the mold was a perfectly yellow cheddar , and that underneath the skin or external layer is a good person.

[djtdub105]

so i still do eat the mold with the person right?

[Shell]

provolone is where it's at. but to be on topic:

well with one well-placed punch to the face you could potentially straighten her crooked nose and also bust out her yellow teeth

[PshSam]

, and that underneath the skin or external layer is a good person.

you're talking about raw muscles and ligaments right?

Apparently you have never had smoked cheddar because your advice is hardly helpful. But isn't it amazing the morals cheese can teach a person?

The "moduly" bacteria is an informative organism. Like an informative speech, but first and foremost is a nutritious snack (the cheese). Now as a nutritious snack and due to its informative qualities it is found to be a supreme delicacy among many tribal nations. Also, we must think about this. It goes back to the old moon-is-cheese theory. Cheese is the embodiment of the mind, the body.
So when I allude to this fact and say that the cheese is within everyone of us I am not just talking from my ***.

Look at this http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/c2.htm cheese represents gains and profits. How can we not equate its representation in the subconscious to some sort of qualitative figure in the real world? We must take this to then mean that cheese is the life-giving substance. It gives life and it takes life. The cheese is within all of us. It is everything which gains and profits, life, the greatest profit among us, is represented by the cheese and therefore comes from the cheese. You must see this.

The cheese is in me.

The cheese is in you.

Never forget this principle.

[SugarCoatedSour]

well the point at hand is to not become self-absorbed throughout life, one must always remain in constant appraisal of the values around him/her. Everything holds some value and it must be observed, thus even the immediately negative or unappealing things can pose significance. Just because something doesn't fit the given context or is out of your grasp of relation doesn't give you enough reason to disagree with its existence. There is also no point of using knowledge to disprove other knowledge, there is perhaps nothing more neurotic or selfish than to do just that.

People all throughout this thread prove their inability to see significance, or perhaps their parents truly hadn't made them aware of values or any way of appraising those values. It's not a fault anymore ,therefore there is no point of playing eye for an eye and finding weakness in what I'm saying or my character, it is now merely a reality which needs to be appraised.
