As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

Of brakes and horns
Posted by John | Filed under Uncategorized
by John Fischer “I couldn’t repair your brakes so I made your horn louder.”
Now I can no more cite the reference for this quote than I can confirm half the stuff that circulates around the Internet as authentic. But this one I just snatched out of cyberspace. I have no idea where it came from or who to credit for it, so if I’m violating someone’s right to ownership, I apologize in advance, but I can’t resist the pathetic, but accurate metaphor in the statement. Isn’t it just like human nature to compensate for one weakness by overdoing another? “I couldn’t repair your brakes so I made your horn louder.”
Suddenly, I see a whole society racing out of control, blaring its horn all the way. Of course, what good does that do? Inevitably you will hit something and come to a gruesome and painful stop. It’s a crash course with no direction — a foolish way to solve a problem. But don’t we live our lives a lot like this? Our brakes go out so we speed up, blowing our horns until we run into something.
One of the tragedies about this observation is that it reminds us that people are often blowing their horns but no one seems to be able to hear. Prisons are full of lives that crashed, and no one bothered to hear their horns blowing. Kids crash the same way. Some blow their horns, but it’s already too late.
A lot of our horn blowing is often just a cover-up for the fact that we don’t know when to stop. If you can stop, you hardly need your horn at all..
“Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” (Matthew 5:37)
