Emergency Exits
Life is like jumping from a 747, at thirty thousand feet, without a parachute. Not that a parachute would matter during that jump. But it would give us a false sense of security and we might not panic.
Bungee cords should come standard at birth. When we jumped in over our heads the cord would pull us back onto dry land. When we went over the edge we wouldn’t crash and burn. On really bad days we could just dangle, upside-down, until we got a new perspective on the situation.
Time machines should be on sale every Tuesday. Then we could go back to the weekend and enjoy life three days early every week. More importantly, we could go back and correct any mistakes we made the previous week. No one else should remember our mistakes. No one should ever make the same mistake twice.
Hearts should be made of shatter proof glass or better yet reinforced titanium plating. Puppies should never pee on the carpet. Friends should never rain on our parade. Babies are the only people that should ever have a reason to cry. Children should never die. Love should never fade. Forgiveness should be a law.
Instead, life is like jumping from a 747, at thirty thousand feet, without a parachute. There is no where to go, but down, from there.
