Sometimes, substitutes just don't cut it. Sometimes, no matter how hard we would like them to, in order to meet a particular need or goal it requires a specific commodity. Sometimes, close enough isn't good enough. Look for the real deal.
There are a lot of pretenders out there. Coke is not Pepsi. Dr. Thunder is not Dr. Pepper. A lot of chivalrous and noble guys are creeps when you get comfortable. Politicians are not prophets or prognosticators. Sometimes a spoon is a spoon. Although one of my favorite college professors turned a skillet and some sand into a fitting substitute for an expensive dry bath, not everything makes a good substitute. The first set of tires I had on my Saturn were actually the wrong size. I'm sure that caused problems.
If you're looking for a nice cup of coffee, broccoli just won't do. Everything and everyone have their own virtues. If you're expecting a nice cup of warm broccoli, then sipping on liquefied broccoli will satisfy you, but if you expected coffee, that liquid chlorophyll drink doesn't cut the mustard. Broccoli may be good for B vitamins, but it provides no caffeine to perk you up.
Take things as they are. People want to be accepted for who they are without having to return the favor. Nobody is perfect. If you met a perfect person, what interest would they have in being friends with an imperfect one? Sometimes a spoon is just a spoon. Sometimes a comment is just a comment. Sometimes things don't work out like you would like. Take things one day at a time, and try not to anticipate and plan and project too much and too far into the future. People are people.
Your toast will probably always fall with the butter side down. Accept that, and savor each slice you save from the floor. And, if you really want to dunk it in a healthy cup of steaming liquid broccoli, be my guest...
