Why Wait for the 'LAST STRAW'?
Care for the 'LAST STRAW'? Oh, you won't believe it, many of us are partial and comfortable in stretching and stretching things, so patient and persevering and worst, [wrongly] thinking that eventually he'll be fine, that things will turn out favorable, that the turn of events will eventually end based on his sheer optimism. That probably explains why we tend to have misplaced optimisms such that we keep waiting for the 'LAST STRAW' but it's too bad, only a minority of us all assess the risks and probabilities in a level-headed manner. Very few in fact amongst us give an impartial and balanced revalidation and reassessment of the debacle they are currently confronting.
One could be in a very trying relationship that has seen more DOWNs than UPs through the years. And yet, surprisingly, there are folks with misplaced optimism as they remain nursing for hopes that eventually, the other protagonist [and that could be his/her partner/spouse] will eventually welcome him/her back in open arms despite and inspite of all the wrong things he's been guilty of. In short, they keep waiting for the 'LAST STRAW'.
In life, when you start things out, you could find yourself so secure with a robust-looking rope but what we tend to overlook is that even the sturdiest rope will experience its natural 'WEAR and TEAR' till the last strands of its fiber becomes the the 'LAST STRAW' that will eventually snap off. Sounds familiar? Yesirrrrrs we have seen that scenario day-in day-out in our life.
Hey, let me confront you. Do you really want to turn a blind eye in the face of all the risks you're facing? And hoping against hope that you will never end up to that very 'LAST STRAW' that will hit the camel's back? Good grief. That probably explains why many of us in a debacle end up badly beaten black and blue, no thanks to being stubborn and just blink to the harsh realities we are facing. And when your partner unceremoniously walks out from your domicile, many of us get floored, sometimes fatally.
