One Unfortunate Mistake

Sometimes you are thrown these signs from above and whether you believe in a higher power or not, you are compelled to do something about it. These are the good kind of signs.

The bad kinds are the ones that come to you when it is too late to do anything about them. They may happen subconsciously. You click a link on the internet, forget about it, or don’t even notice it, then look back on your computer a few minutes later and it’s right there, staring at you in the face with big eyes and a smile. Those taunting signs? Symbols of helplessness. Not a darn thing you can do. These signs can bring even the strongest man to frustrated tears, depending on what it is.

And no matter how sorry you are, or how much you wish you could take something back, or how well you learned your lesson, there isn’t a darned thing in the world you can do to fix whatever this sign is telling you to fix. You aren’t Batman. You have limitations, and you can only go so far before you start breaking the backs of camels.
