If some confectioners were willingTo let the shape announce the filling,We'd encounter fewer assorted chocs,Bitten into and returned to the box.

If some confectioners were willingTo let the shape announce

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of clarity and transparency in communication. By comparing it to the experience of biting into assorted chocolates and being unsure of their fillings, the quote suggests that if confectioners were open about the content inside each chocolate, people would be less likely to return them unfinished. Similarly, in life, if individuals were more transparent and upfront about their intentions, there would be fewer misunderstandings and disappointments in social interactions.
