Section: STRAIGHT SOLUTIONS FOR LIFE
13. Get a permanent solution!
In any crisis situation, you always make the mistake of thinking that by escaping from the situation, you can come out of the fear. But again and again, life will teach you that only by completing with fear will you get out of any fear - never by escaping from the situation. But what to do? Everybody thinks the solution in front of them is the easiest solution - and they think it will be a permanent solution. No!
I have a story for you: A woman takes her lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Unknown to her, her nine-year-old son is hiding in the bedroom closet. Suddenly, her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she asks her lover to hide in the closet. The lover enters the dark closet and closes the door. Suddenly the little boy says, 'Dark in here!' The man, the lover, is shocked to find that the little boy is also sitting there in the closet. 'Yes, it is,' he says. The boy says, 'I have a baseball.'
The man says, 'That's nice.' The boy asks, 'Want to buy it?' The man says, 'No, thanks.' The boy says, 'My dad is outside!' The man says, 'Okay, okay! How much?' The boy says, '$250'. The man buys it.
After a few weeks it so happens that the boy and the woman's lover are again together in the closet. The boy says, 'Dark in here.' The man says. 'Yes, it is.' The boy says, 'I have a baseball glove.' The man, remembering the last time, asks the boy, 'How much?' The boy says, '$ 750'. The man says, 'Fine! What to do? I will buy.' So the deal is done.
A few days later, the boy's father tells him, 'Come on son! Grab your glove, get your baseball! Let's play some baseball!' The boy says, 'No dad, I can't, because I sold both of them.' The father asks. 'You sold them? How much did you sell them for? Son says, 'For $1,000. The ball for $250, and the glove for $750.' The father says, 'That's terrible, to overcharge your friends like this! That's way more than those two things cost! I am going to take you to church and make you confess!'
They both go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door to start the confession. The boy says, 'Dark in here." The priest says, 'Don't start that again!'
The unfortunate thing is, everyone thinks that if you just handle the current situation and escape, you can save yourself. The priest thinks that if he just buys the baseball, he will be saved. He doesn't know that the baseball glove is coming, and next something will be coming and next something else is going to come..!
