Rotten apples are trending topics these days.

Today, one was thrown in a dear friend’s way.

Unfortunately, she had to deal with the worm in the apple, sometimes worming into the apple, sometimes poking its head out in subtle mockery.

Tsk tsk, and then I realised many people around me have to deal with the rotten apples, with worms thrown in.

The script, the lines, the responses, the reactions.. all just seem so eerily familiar.

It is natural to feel protective.

Sometimes, there just ain’t absolute answers, especially when worms are just glad to be worms.
