If Problems Go Away

A scientist posted
about how many people
think ignoring a problem
will make it magically go away.

That’s because
for many people
that is exactly what happens
…for them.

Someone else,
likely someone like you or me,
puts in the hard work
and fixes the problem.

All the other people
have to do
is mention it IS a problem
for them.

They complain to the manager.
(That manager might be the general internet
or their spouse
or some other person/entity.)

And that manager fixes it.

The challenge we’re seeing
right now
is there are a lot of problems
to fix
and
not enough people fixing problems.

If your problems
go away
without you having done anything
to fix them,
someone else is doing
that work.

Problems
don’t magically
fix themselves.

When The People Around You Hate You

The Dr. Oz video
with him attempting to shop
at a grocery store
is what happens
when the people
around you
hate you.

His goal,
I believe,
was to appear
like an average person.

Instead,
it shows how out of touch
he is
with the average person.

He says he’s shopping
for a crudité,
a term not many average people
use.
He misnames the grocery store.
He misnames vegetables.
He shops without a basket.

It is an embarrassing mess.
Yet the people around him
allowed him
to share it
on social media.

Ensure you have people
around you
who will stop you
from doing f*cked up things
like this.
And ensure
you listen to them.

We ALL need
a support team
who actually supports us.
