Rewind
Button
By
Tammy Derouin
Struggles,
challenges and disappointments are part of life. If you knew what
was coming, would you even get out of bed? Knowing the future would
probably keep everyone in the nursery with their eyes closed, sucking
their thumbs while waiting to be cuddled. In today's
oversensitive world, sheltering individuals from reality or allowing
them to give up because it's difficult or stressful, is turning the
younger generations into state approved weaklings. Our schools,
universities and cuddling “experts” are an extension of the
preschool nursery.
So
called experts will come right out and tell you they know what is
best. Just because they've rearranged some letters in the
alphabet (and if you're a Kenny Chesney fan, you know where I'm
headed) and stuck them behind their name, doesn't mean they have
god-like powers. Although, if they can convince you that they are
superior, the power shifts in their favor. Fancy talk doesn't
impress me. Gathering facts and seeking the truth is impressive.
Verbal attacks only hurt if you allow them to hurt and opinions are
like bellybuttons. Yeah, I said bellybuttons, everybody has one.
Inevitably,
during difficult times, the thought of an alternate reality will
enter your mind. What would life have been like if different
decisions would have been made? That is truly a subjective thought
because you create an experience in your mind based on feelings and
opinions, not facts. The path not taken would have had its own
challenges, heartaches and disappointments. The outcome will never be
known. However, I see nothing wrong with a temporary "what if"
vacation in the mind when dealing with the difficulties of reality.
Where's the rewind button when you need it?
