I invited a close friend to share my sofa for an hour or two the other night. He speaks slowly and calmly and is more conversant with the ways of the world than I am, sound sense listening to someone with a bit more insight.
He was in complete agreement with me about my aping skills.
Wisdom, ‘if you don’t want to appear an ape all your life stop shopping in the monkey house’.
He went on ‘Take a bit more time to develop what is comfortable. You might not realize it but shopping at any time if the year is just looking for the quick fix over and over again. Doesn’t matter what your chasing or in what department you chase it, money, sex, all that kind of stuff it’s all just simple gratification. Sure it’s nice at the time, but when it becomes the solution to your problems then you need to expect the lows when the highs aren’t around. If the attraction in life is all paper hats and streamers, when the balloons deflate the party’s over. And when the party’s over it’s over. Then it’s back to the dark tunnel and the teaspoon. Inevitably doing it over and over again eventually you’ll come out in the land of the dragons. You’re not that bright that you know how to take on a dragon with a teaspoon.
Why not lay down the fight. Stay on the sofa a while, remove the armour. Climb off your cross. Why not accept your imperfections instead of trying to outwit them. All you’ll manage to succeed in doing is baffle yourself. You don’t need a crown of thorns, you’re already a sore head waiting to happen anyway. Alternatively stop burrowing and climb the mountain, see what the vista is like. Seems a lot of hard work for nothing the way you go about things’.
I must ask him to join me more often.
Goodnight campers.
