It is easy to get distracted by something shiny and new. To think it is the greatest thing you have ever seen. Like a new car. And I’m not talking brand new, just new to you. And you may not notice a few small dents and scratches at first, and if you do, you just brush them aside because hey it is only a few, and nothing is perfect right? Then maybe the engine makes a funny noise, or leaves a weird puddle after it has been parked somewhere for a little too long… but we just brush it off again because… ooooh look at that shiny cherry red paint! (It is so nice to look at, isn’t it?!?) But, the tire blows a flat. (Well that is why there is a spare in the trunk, right?) We change the oil every 3,000 miles. (Routine maintenance goes for everything right? Isn’t our job to take care of it?) But wait… is it really that great anymore? How shiny is that paint after all…? It actually looks like it is kind of fading. And we really need to look into that engine, it is still making funny noises. How reliable is this car anyway? Is it built to last? Is this car going to take me where I need to go? Where I want to go? If needed can it go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds? But wait wait wait, do the brakes even work???? Can I get a warranty? What is the return policy?
Maybe I should have invested in a bicycle??
I think I will just walk, actually.
