Don't Understand

There are so many things in this world I don’t understand. No, I’m not stupid. I understand inverse-square law and total static pressure, but people are beyond comprehension. Maybe that’s the reason psychiatrist are crazy. They have to be, to believe they understand how the human brain works. The only thing I understand from that field is the Rogerian theory which simply states that man is capable of solving his own problems.

In my little fly spec world, I encounter some folks that just don’t make sense to me. Some of them are relatives so I can’t mention any names or point to what they do. But I can say about most people that they would be a lot better off if they stopped and gave a little thought before acting.

We are all guilty of not realizing what a good deal we have. Our lives may not be the best, but unless you’ve lived through some real bad times, you may not know how well off you are. The part that puzzles me is those that get opportunities on a golden platter and do not take advantage of them. A simple example is those that let drugs take over their lives. No one made them start. It was a choice. But why did they make that choice?

Without rambling on, it confounds me that there seems to be so many dysfunctional people today. It’s like they are hiding or running from something with no hope of overcoming their current condition. Perhaps the answer is in the Bible. It usually is.

An old man was asked what his favorite Bible verse was and he replied, "It came to pass." All things come to pass.

You just have to hold on until they do.
