The NAIL

Yesterday morning I was out for my jog. Glancing down I saw a large rusty nail in the street right in front of me. I did not stop to pick it up. I felt that I should have.

But I had taken in too much fluid before my jog and desperately needed to urinate.
That was my excuse.

Fortunately
This morning I was jogging and the nail was still there!
Of course I picked it up and threw it in the trash.

I was thankful that I was allowed to remedy my error.

But then, I noticed a lot of potentially hazardous things in the street! And there I drew a line. It was not my job to go out of my way to make the street safer. But if it was right in front of me....

and then I thought, maybe I took work away from some guy who fixes punctured tires!
And then I imagined the man with the tire business secretly placing road hazards in order to get more business for himself.....

I don't want more business
I want less
fewer jobs

I have plenty of business. I have more than enough.
