Hope & Question

4. Why do I like {cupcakes} more than I like {people}?

Feel free to switch out the words in brackets: You may like TV more than exercise, or bad boys more than nice guys, or burglary more than reading. Whatever the particulars, every woman has something she likes more than the somethings she's supposed to like. But forcing "virtues" -- trying to like people more than cupcakes -- drives us to vices that offer false freedom from oppression. Stop trying to like the things you don't like, and many vices will disappear on their own.

I've been ruminating on this one for days. Ice cream is the first fill in the blank. I suppose doing chores may be the second fill in the blank these days. I don't know about the logic in this one. I can't imaigine if I stop liking chores they'll get done on their own. I'm kind of confused by this. I know exactly why I like ice cream more than chores. Cause ice cream is yummy and happy and chores are tiring and dirty. Even though dirty turns into clean eventually. Ok, I'm going to stop here while I'm ahead. I feel like I'm totally missing the point. Oh well...on to the next question.
