Kool-Aid Steppin'


Not all forms of poison are immediately fatal.


Learning from one’s mistakes seems like such a logical and natural series of events. Why then do some people make the same mistakes each and every time the opportunity presents itself?


Are some people so hopelessly disillusioned by reality that the thought of tripping over the same old pair of shoes over and over again seems impossible?


There is of course always the possibility that people and places change; our perspective on past events can be altered so dramatically that where there were once potholes now lay fields of daisies. Join the party...you too can relive common mistakes as though they are happening for the very first time.


But seriously…come on now! Add some sugar to the cherry flavored beverage. There is no such thing as NutraSweet or Splenda occurring in the natural world.


Learning and growing and moving on with life is not such a painful contingency that it should be avoided at all costs.


Have some more poison, this time it really is Kool-Aid.
