Sometimes (necessary) waiting is annoying as hell.

Let's say that I want to eat an avocado today. That's totally understandable -- avocados are delightful. However, if the avocado before me is hard and green, eating the avocado today will be a bleak, disappointing, entirely sub-optimal experience. I can do it, sure, but it is not ideal. Underripe avocados are edible, if unpleasant, but they're nowhere near as nice as ripe ones.

It is far better to wait for the avocado to ripen and eat it then, even if what I want is an avocado today.

It's not good to be in a hurry with avocados.

A ripe avocado is a voluptuous feast, a sensory indulgence. It gives gently under a probing touch, letting me know that underneath the alligator skin is yellow-green flesh waiting, silky, soft, and faintly sweet. Ripe avocados are worth the wait, but still... avocados give no fucks for my wants and move at their own pace. If I want to eat a ripe avocado, I have to wait for the avocado to ripen.

Anyway, this avocado is unripe.
