Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. This sentence?

Life is uncertain and full of infinite possibilities. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

This sentence is a line from the movie Forrest Gump, which was said by Forrest Gump's mother. Forrest Gump in the movie has a slight mental retardation, so when he was a child, his mother always told him some life truths with some appropriate metaphors.

This sentence compares life to chocolate, which means that life is still very tasty. People who like chocolate are bound to accept all kinds of flavors of chocolate. Just like life, no matter in good times or bad times, as long as you have a heart that loves life, you can realize the meaning of life, accept life, draw nutrition from it, and face the next unknown with confidence.
