Life is Never 'CUT & DRY'

 

Oh NO, LIFE IS NEVER A 'CUT AND DRY' stuff.  WHO says it is?  Just a few years ago WHEN we all got hit hard by that Covid-19 Pandemic, our world turned upside down and our whole world just ended more than just topsy-turvy.  True, literal things like meat, flowers and wood are all 'CUT and DRIED'  BUT dude, there there are many more things in life WHICH is NOT 'CUT and DRIED'📗📙📘

Issues?  Answers?  BTW, even phone-cleaning is certainly NOT as CUT and DRIED as you thought.  Far from CUT and DRIED, science is dynamic and messy and, like a great novel , filled with changes in plot.  As such, science has always been peddled as the best example of NOT being CUT and DRIED because it's always fresh.  That's the parallelism when we get drawn in our daily lives. And even we do a mapping with technology, there is NO 'PLUG and PLAY' in our daily lives💥💥💥

In real life terms, we heard heart-rending narratives from the Third World WHERE a parent works damn hard overseas and sends his financial help to his family every month or so.  UNTIL the beneficiaries got so used to it.  UNTIL the recipients [wrongly] believe that that was the 'DEFAULT SETTING' in their lives and therefore, without lifting even a finger, $$$$$$$ will trickle in come next month and in this age of digital wallets, one DOESN'T even need to go to the bank.  $$$$$$$ would just trickle in effortlessly into their digital wallets.  One day, those $$$$$$$ DON'T get into the digital wallet and people 10,000 miles away start to get anxious and yes, damn worried.  WHY?  It's because they [wrongly] thought that life is a 'CUT and DRY' thing, WHICH is NOT.  BUT alas, people's perspectives get mixed up❎❎❎

Over at the workplace, typically, if you've got those 'wet ears' straight from university, you are so enthused and excited to plunge into work.  BUT down the road, some of us would [wrongly] thing that life becomes 'CUT and DRY' at the workplace environment.  THAT salary increments will happen.  THAT job promotions are no-brainers.  THAT variable bonuses are a given.  Until, someone gets hit by very unpleasant things LIKE that salary increment NOT happening, that JOB promotion never coming into fruition and that variable bonus becomes nothing more than just a figment of one's imagination😕😕😕

Our takeaway:  Life is NOT a point-to-point thing, NOT akin to that tourist Hop-IN Hop-OUT buses.  While the parallelism is consistent with the START and END of that journey, once the engine in our life gets ignited, expect a road with potholes, with gaps, with some hard gravels and sometimes with slopes too steep for the inefficient engine to struggle upwards.  Yes dude, to set expectations, LIFE IS NEVER 'CUT & DRY'❗❗❗
