Eating Cake & Loving it!!!

What is a birthday without the birthday cake? Cake in general has always been a symbol of something good. Cake for dessert, cake for retirements, promotions, 1/2 dressed women jumping out cakes for men, most people don't view cake as a bad thing. It doesn't hold the same stigma as pie in the eye or a pie in the face. Dr Phil would think more than one piece of cake at a time could be a sign of a deeper problem but for the most part cake is a good thing. Why then, is there such a negative connotation when people say, " have your cake & it too"?
I don't know anyone who would have cake & not want to eat it too. Knowing that the cake is just a symbol for what they are really talking about, where do people get off judging someone elses cake? I think it's jealousy. Maybe they don't have any cake or are left with only the melted ice cream on the plate or maybe they've never tasted the corner piece with the huge icing rose (my favorite piece). Once you have tasted that how can you go back to no cake or worse just pie? I am often annoyed by how onlookers of life are the first to cast their opinion on those who have the biggest piece. Have they ever stopped to think how you got the biggest piece or how long & hard it has taken you to bake that whole cake? Well I say if you have worked hard & earned that cake then eat it, have another piece & enjoy every scrumptious bite. Feel sorry for the people telling you, "have your cake & eat it too" because their plate is empty I'm sure! And if they ever get some eat theirs too!!!
