Instincts

You know that feeling where you know something is off -- your gut tells you, your friends tell you, even the powers that be tells you.

But you're just too stubborn to see it or hear it or speak it. Maybe you're an eternal optimist. Maybe you think there's a tiny smidge of chance (0.000001%) that everyone is wrong. Maybe you think if you just ignore it or pretend its not there, nothings really off. Maybe you're trying to find an excuse -- a rational one, a reasonable one, but nothing makes sense.

So you go into denial. You take a step or two back. You re-evaluate your priorities. You finally admit to yourself that your initial instincts were right. You realize its not your battle. No loss, no gain (well, maybe a little gain).


Damn those monkeys.
