Spider Webs and Problems, Again
Spider Webs are like problems. With a Spider Web you can’t see it until you’ve run into it, and immediately you look like a freak. As soon as you run into that web your whole walk is out of control. You run through it and people off in the distance think “what is wrong with that person”. None of them can see this web; unless you tell them about it, and then they might not believe you. That’s how problems are. You usually can’t see a problem until its hit you, and if you see it before it hits you then you have to beat it back with a stick. This also makes you look funny. Either way people think you look funny. People usually don’t understand (see) your problems unless you tell them, and even then they don’t always believe you. Once you get tangled in a problem it’s stuck with you for a long time. You can try and get it out, but you don’t know the extent of it. You don’t know were it ends. Thus my conclusion ends. Problems are like Spider webs. Oh and the fact that Spiders, Spider Webs and problems are all disgusting!
So you might remember this post I had a while back about Spider Webs being like problems. Personally I still think it is one of my greatest thoughts ever. Well basically I thought of more to it. So here it is.
I was recently outside; by recently I mean 3 minutes ago. While outside I ran into a spider web. So it gave me a few ideas. When I ran into it guess what my immediate reaction was? It was to jump back and claw at myself trying to get it off. In doing so I potentially could have caused more harm than good. My next impulse was to pick up the nearest thing I could use to beat down the rest of the spider webs with. This is much like life. You run into a problem and your first impulse is to try and pull back and get out of it; to late it’s stuck. Then you claw at yourself trying to get rid of it, which could potentially make it worse, or cause other problems. Next you pick up a beating stick, so as to face any other problems coming your way. See you automatically assume that there will be more problems. I picked up that whacker thinking, “where one is, there has to be more”. We assume the worst, like life is out to get us. So what can we take from this? That we need to calm down, not hurt ourselves in our problems, and be prepared before we hit the first one. Expect them to be there, and then you won’t be surprised. Life will have problems you can’t do anything about it. So just live the best you can, and make the best of all situations. No need to worry excessively, me worrying about the spider webs in my house and yard has never accomplished anything; that stick on the other hand, has.
