Evolution of sanity

1)

You walk down the street

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk

You fall in

You’re lost — You’re helpless

It isn’t your fault

It takes forever to find a way out

2)

You walk down the same street

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk

You pretend not to see it

You fall in again

You can’t believe you’re in the same place

But it isn’t your fault

It still takes a long time to get out

3)

You walk down the same street

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk

You see it is there

You still fall in — it’s a habit

Your eyes are open

You know where you are

This time, it is your fault

You get out immediately

4)

You walk down the same street

There’s a deep hole in the sidewalk

You walk around it

5)

You walk down a different street
