STAYING THE COURSE

Ah, such a noble concept. The idea of being faithful. A nice theory you understand. Much not necessarily reality.

Oh I didn't say we weren't ambitious to savor such things. Oh yeah, we love the concept. You know just to create illusion that somehow we can actually be capable of always doing the right thing.

Course this does happen at times. Like say with a person in jail. Now they will behave in terms of the limits of what you can get away with in prison.

So unless you can bribe the guards or manage in some other way you will pretty much stay the course. I didn't say you would enjoy it, just do what you have too.

Which is the part that sort of is important. The enjoying part. That does sort of count at times. You know that you certainly have a lot more reason to be faithful if the course is pleasant.

Like say if you were to have to say on some island where you were the only guy among a thousand lonely females. Ah, now that would be easy to remain faithful. Well providing they were faithful and keeping you happy.

Yeah, that counts for something to me. Not sure what completely. Since those kinds of opportunities don't come up that often.

Wish they did. It would make things so wonderful and special. Well in terms of the fun that would come from feeling good about this whole thing of staying the course.

Only the stuff you normally get stuck having to stay the course about is boring to say the least. Things like paying bills. Never that exciting is it?

The fun is in the borrowing. At least it can be if you are using the credit for good stuff. Then you get to feel like celebrating.

It is a nice credit celebration. A bash of great joy as long as the credit lasts. Then naturally the bill comes due.

That is the part of staying the course that doesn't count as fun. Well not that I have noticed.

Instead, we take that part and cope. Staying the course out of necessity. More like intimidation.

That is the part where we do it for fear of consequences. Not that it makes us happy. Just a matter of fear inspiring our hands to do what our minds don't want to do. A matter of choice.
