A Deeper Ditch Is Always The New Normal In Societies We're Anxious to Get Back To
A man was blind, yet could see, but was always bumbling, fumbling, stumbling into ditch after ditch. This became so normal, the person never bothered to climb out, just continued on by convincing himself each ditch was better than the majority world outside the ditch. Plus he figured he could dig himself out and come out on top on the other side.Along came two, traveling, trying to find their way. They both started out in the earlier ruts left by the seeing blind man. Soon the two who traveled together, both recognized the ruts were becoming ditches.
One of them decided to recalibrate, change directions. The other, quite hooked on a habit, good or bad, decided he had made it this far following the same logic, so why change. A rut ain't that bad, so a ditch might not be either.As expected, he fell into the pattern of getting used to deeper ditches. Each time there was a decline, to prove and confirm he knew what he was doing, he yelled out confidently, “told you I was going to fall in that ditch!”
