pushing buttons
« on: May 13, 2007, 05:18:49 PM »
like a crosswalk button.

i told my daughter to not push the button going the way we just came from.
i said that we didn't need to go that way, and it may make the light change faster and cost some people a part of their day, if they barely miss the light, because of her action.


the point is, just because there is a button you don't need to push it just because it's there.  what might it cost someone else.

On the other hand, if a button is there,
it is meant to be used, and if you can't
imagine what use it might have, it is
best to simply try one.

Also, if you're like me and can perfectly imitate the noise a crosswalk signal makes, make sure there aren't any blind people around before imitating that noise when there is no signal.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Unless you're like me, and like a good joke now and then.

Why do I get the feeling this topic has nothing to do with crosswalk buttons but everything to do with karma?

Are people still pissing around with that?   ::)


I assumed karma because the having a button to push was something Calandale had said about Karma a couple of times.

Yeah, and I figured so, because, well, it's all about me, after all.

Actually, I  thought that he was dinging both Richard and myself.

two birds with one stone.  imagine.

a parable is supposed to mean different things to different people, or is that an allegory.

I don't know, but I always seem to take parables wrong.
