The Funnies....

Charlie Brown comic strip....

Charlie Brown, lying in bed...."Sometimes, I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Why me?".

Then a voice answers, "Nothing personal... Your name just happened to come up...."


Very funny.

Even funnier that it was the same question I asked myself recently.

And you know the funniest thing about it, you've probably asked yourself the exact same thing recently too.

Maybe not the exact same words, and maybe in varying dialects or languages, but the gist of it is there.

Never mind who. Never mind what. Never mind why.

Sometimes it's about why you're the person clickatey-clacking away at your PC, in the wee hours of the morning, alone.

Sometimes it's about why you alone seems to care about something that is absolutely non of your business, and why the person to whom the business actually belongs to, is too short and too what to do something about it.

Sometimes we wonder why short people have issues about their shortness. 2 extra inches do not a man make. In fact, it does nothing for them except make them a taller-by-2-inches dickhead.

Sometimes we wonder why fat women have sometime against beautiful women. (It's not my fault you're fat!)

Sometimes we can't figure out why people have to talk big to make themselves look big. Can't they tell it absolutely doesn't work?

Haha...

But all of the times, it's about us, it's about how we respond and react to any and every situation, just because we forget that it's really not personal. It's business, it's ass saving, it's hopeless rhetoric, it's blatant sucking up, and it's anything but personal.

It's how other people choose to a threat to their survival, whether real or imaginary, whether imminent or actually many light years away.So, it's not personal. Your name just happened to come up.

It may be stupid. It may be ridiculous. It may be useless politicking. But it's not personal.

It's just a matter of survival.
