sometimes i think about that kid in the experiment who was sat down and told to wait some time before eating the sweetness put in front of him
that his patience would bring a reward
and i think about how they laughed when he didn’t succeed in waiting and instead crammed the entire gummy bear into his mouth the second they left
looking so guilty afterward
the way they gloated and collected data and prognosticated about his future job prospects and potential success- certainly not as good as those who waited, they said
it was something about self-control
i know all too well that when he got home there were probably no sweets or if there were, they were there for a moment only before being snatched away by either cruel hands or circumstance no guarantee that promises meant anything, much less that they were kept.
if it had been me in that chair i’d have eaten it too.
