IN THE MAIL

Lost of interesting things can come in the mail at times. It depends on your idea of interesting I suppose.

But regardless, I think the mail is in a way symbolic of life. It represents a sort of way fate works.

Hey, this is my blog and if I want to exercise some option to get silly on a philosophical level, then I will. Besides I figure by doing so it will grant you the joy of knowing I do more than steal and lie.

True, I don't avoid it whenever possible, but I do it from time to time. And in this case I want to treat the mail as a symbol of how you get treated in life.

First of all, good news, bad news or junk mail, you get it from somebody you either don't know initially. Meaning that just like fortune, he or she doesn't have a reason to give a crap what you get or when it happens. Basically, this person just delivers the stuff without worrying if you like it.

Which of course translates into the reality that this person has no interests in seeing that what you get is beneficial. Just that you get it whether you deserve it or not.

Now as for what you get. Well for starters you know you will get bills. See that is the reality, you can get stuff good or bad without knowing there also being a risk of consequences and a price tag. There is no crude you like without some you get you will hate.

Then there is the junk mail. This is the stuff that life throws at you that has no real value as a rule. It tells you about how you can buy more crap you probably don't need and don't want.

I figure junk mail symbolizes the countless moments of life that suck because they are boring. They just fill up way too much of our time.

However, you can get the good or bad stuff without it. So just like life, your stuck. To get what you want, you have to take a whole lot of crap too.

The great upside to all of this is because life, like the mail will have the occasional good surprises. That makes the rest of the crap you get worth tolerating.

As for the jury summons. Well, we do have to accept that big brother is watching. But then it is far better to enjoy the time of being given a jury summons rather than sitting in front of a jury and being on trial.

Just a little food for thought. And remember, in life postage due is when you get news that should be free, but you have to pay for. Hopefully, it will be on something like a free trip rather than a bill.
