Just Another Day!

There are just some people who are so self-centered that nothing short of literally cutting off their nose will get their attention.

I said self-centered.  It should be self-absorbed.  Absorbed is more, well, absorbed.  It is like a sponge that sucks up everything around them and applies it only to themselves.

We all know at least one like that.  You break your arm and when face to face with Mr./Mrs. Absorbent, somehow your broken arm is all entwined in their life and their problems and their history.  Next thing you know you are hearing about all their accomplishments and hoping that the pain meds will kick in and you can float silently away into the oblivion of numbness which will also become one with Absorbent.

Oh, don't take it so hard.  Their life is so void of human companionship that they must live vicariously through both the pain and pleasure of others.  Your pain or your pleasure must become theirs to further their survival.

Pretend they can actually feel your pain and it might give you some iota of pleasure.

Keep looking up and maybe they will, too.
