Deer Hunting
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I haven’t been hunting very many times but I have family members who hunt regularly and they have shared with me a certain phenomenon.
When a deer is shot at, occasionally it will run away – but frequently, it takes a few leaps, and then stops. In other words, it gets frightened, but it doesn’t know enough to vacate the area completely. Even if a nearby deer is shot and drops dead right next to it – it won’t move too much.
Why am I bringing this up? Well – a few weeks ago my company laid off 50% of it’s staff. 50% is huge. Walking around today, I see people watching YouTube and “playing” around while at work. Our boss just told us that corporate is investigating all “moonlighters” – that is, people who have side businesses.
It seems to me that people are acting like those deer. They are not paying attention to the real source of the problems, they are not heeding the warning shots that are going on around them. It is time to see the dead carcuses around you and rise above it – but first – self preserve!
