A SECOND TOO MANY

There are some things in life where every second literally count. One second too many and you get a disaster.

I'm sure you can imagine a few possibilities. You know, for example if you were trying to disarm a time bomb. You wait one second too many and KABOOM. Sorry, I lack the ability to ad sound effects. But you can just shout it out if it makes you feel better.

There are always those occasions of time bombs in situations of life. We make a stupid decision that has potential consequences. But we don't want to face the consequences so we end up just pretending to not hear the ticking sound.

We don't even make an attempt to call the bomb squad. If we did that we would have to admit we were dumb and stupid and it was our fault because we were told not to assemble the darn thing, but we figured they were just kidding. So in order to avoid looking like an idiot, we just risk the thing blowing up and the whole time make up lies to hope somehow the darn thing won't explode. Of course we both know how that works, don't we?

Now, what I've done is from my view to explain human nature. Something that probably has been that way for ages and as a result we needed politicians for leaders. After all if you are going to build time bombs and pretend they don't exist, you need leaders skilled enough to lie so you can feel good about being stupid.

Plus you need politicians because since they don't have any souls or hearts, they won't feel upset about your getting blown up and need to look around for a replacement. It is simple isn't it?

I see it all as a simple and common sense approach to this whole thing. People need a balance to help them be cushion over the fact that they are inept and will never be otherwise.

And really who is more skilled, more capable of making you feel good about yourself even if you only have a second left to live than a politician? In fact I think all those who fly for the airlines, drive buses or captain ships ought to start out as politicians. That way if the plane starts roaring into a nose dive they can at least lie to you and say it is no reason to panic. That everything is fine.

See, if people listened to me, they wouldn't live in longer. In fact they might get so indifferent to their time bomb blunders they would die sooner. Only they would just feel so much better in the process. I call that helpful.

I won't say what others might call it. Some people are just not open minded to the experience. Which is why we need lawyers and used car salesman to take up the slack. Lying can be so exhausting. So you do have to have a break once an a while. You can thank me later for the help.
