Boring Can Save Your Ass

The other day I went to a tire service center to get my car's tires rotated and balanced. A fat middle aged man drove a Chrysler 300 caught my attention. He looked like he got up from bed. He wore lose fitting shirts and sweatpants. He might have the day off from work. Or he might have been laid off. The global pandemic continues. I asked myself, "Did he prepare for health problems? Does he have a family? If yes, then did he prepare if a tragedy happened? Is his family taken care financially? Is shelter provided? Are support services available?" The one question summary is, "Did he complete all the boring preparation?"

Some children tell their parents they're boring. The children tell other family members. The children tell their friends and classmates. The children's faces frown when they want to do something exciting with mom and dad. Mom and dad neither have the desire nor the time. Chances are the parents are doing the boring grown up responsibilities. The parents work to earn an income. The parents nurture you; although, nurturing should be fun for the children. The residence must be maintained such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry. Finances must be checked. Bills and taxes must be paid. Job training must be completed if necessary. Adults still go to school even if they don't learn in a classroom. Unfortunately, physical fitness is a luxury for some parents.

Nevertheless, the boring work must be done. The boring preparation must be completed. All the boring increase the chances for survival. Problems are minimized. Any negative effects, pain, suffering, and struggles are endured.
