Question Number Two: Apples on Trees

I once read a quote that stuck in mind like super glue and never seemed to leave.  I think about it sometimes before I fall asleep.  It flys unwillingly into my mind as I daydream.  I repeat it to myself when I'm feeling lonely.

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten
apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree."

I would like so much to believe that this quote is true.  But more times that not, I believe that it is a lie, a trick meant to spark hope in the hearts of young girls who feel alone.  And if this quote really is true, I suppose it brings me to my question for the week:

When will the boy with the ladder come along?

I see it happen all the time.  A perfectly perfect girl willing to give everything to any boy willing to give something to her, and yet she is tossed aside.  She has nothing but goodness in her heart, and yet she is ignored.  When will she ever get the chance she deserves?  Why is she seemingly nothing compared to the other girls standing beside her?  When will her time come?  Will it ever come?
