The Bullet of Being Positive: Majoring on the Minor Problems
Kipling said that if you can keep your head on straight while everyone else is losing theirs it proves you are a man. The only way to “keep your cool” in this life is to concentrate on what’s right with God rather than what’s wrong with man!
Some time ago the Consumer Products Safety Commission cited the alarming fact that 0.008 per cent of the population are injured every year in matchbook-related accidents and issued comprehensive matchbook regulations requiring that the striking surface be on the back, that the staple be so placed that it cannot be nicked by the match and that the match must not protrude from the closed matchbook, must not crumble or break or delay for more than two seconds in igniting or afterglow for more than five seconds or reignite. Next the Commission was scheduled to review bobby pins, coal scuttles and plastic squeeze bottles for ketchup and mustard.
The priorities of our government border at times on the brink of insanity! They ignore America’s illness of alcoholism and go all out against sugar substitutes! It’s the same old story of dropping H. Bombs on mosquitoes and firing a BB gun at an elephant.
Else we be too hard on our government we need to remember their mistakes are usually our own only magnified. One of human nature’s greatest frailties is overemphasis on the trivial while ignoring the critical. We spend $4,000 to bury the body of a loved one yet never spent so much as $40.00 on his spiritual betterment while he was alive.
