words like rain drops that never hit the ground

out of reach

As I am awake late at night watching the graduate on AMC I cannot help but think about the concept of the forbidden fruit. With it's quirky 60s music and strange camera angles on the beautiful, and graceful Mrs. Robinson it is evident that there is something undeniably alluring about the forbidden.  Whether it's that one thing you can't have, or that elusive goal or idea you know you could never act on.  Whatever it is for you, it is attractive because it's unknown or simply out of reach.  There are so many social standards and rules that our society has created in which we must live our lives within. This is just a part of life I suppose.  Sometimes though, the repression can just be too much to handle.  Often times in reality the forbidden isn't as great as it seems when it's up on that high shelf out of reach.  But who's to say you can't find out for yourself.  As a rule (yet again more rules...)  as long as you don't hurt people in the process, I think it might be a good idea to explore that top shelf.    After all if Benjamin was never with Mrs. Robinson then maybe he wouldn't have met or been as entranced by Elaine... who knows?
