It’s not there

Follow along here please. 

Imagine going into your kitchen. Now imagine looking at your stove. Imagine your stove. You can see your stove. It is clearly there. It’s a stove. Imagine turning it on. Notice that it is working. The burners are hot.

Now, imagine pointing at it and shouting: “YOU’RE NOT THERE!”

And then?

Your stove actually disappears.

You never hear from it again. 

It’s gone.

Ghosted? Naw, you sent it away.

And away it went!

Damn thing even dropped you on socials.

You will likely never see that stove again.

This is a warning.

Your brain is a dangerous thing. 

You annihilated a stove with your thoughts.

What’s next, fart jokes causing earthquakes?

Be careful with that brain of yours.

It’s like the old saying goes:

Do things differently, on purpose, just to annoy yourself.
