Your house is on fire...

"You wake up in the morning, your paint's peeling, your curtains are gone, and the water is boiling. Which problem do you deal with first?"

I feel like so many people I meet live their life this way. Maybe that's not fair, I guess the description would be that they chooose their perspective to be this way. It's unnerving on many levels, especially if you're into politics...but I shan't go there.

Whatever happened to fighting your demons head on? Whatever happened to being absolutely up front with people? I can't tell you how many "professionals" from different walks of life I've met who don't have the stones to do the adult thing at any given moment of any day. Beyond that, people just try and find shortcuts, or strange solutions to obvious problems. Giving examples would be patronizing to anyone who actually reads this, so I'm going to happily assume you know the sort of things I'm referring to.

Now I'm not saying I fix everything in my life. Please. I'm just under the illusion that anything has easy fixes.

Ever the less obvious...

You can't fix tiny details on a house that's burning down. You have to put out the fire. The details come later.
