I'm afraid of typewriters sometimes, not really but I have a tendency to fear them, not the actual machine but the figurative sense of its portrayal in the following metaphor. I'm not making any sense so far, so I will try to clear things out in just one sentence.
Imagine your life as an empty page on a typewriter, start writing and if you make a mistake, good luck trying to fix it.
Imagine your life as an empty page on a typewriter, start writing and if you make a mistake, good luck trying to fix it.
THE "A" FIX. You'd have to put a new page in the typewriter and write everything from the start and be more careful this time, you will hear a voice coming from the back of your head whispering "be cautious, be cautious."
THE "B" FIX. You could correct your "mistyping" with a tipp-ex and move on.
Got it? Ehh.. Not as clear as I should be yet, I'll try a different angle.
I've always wanted to own a typewriter, but by the time I started writing they had almost been extinct, they're like the dinosaurs of typing and you know what happen to the dinosaurs, they went "bye, bye." You can only find one in a museum, or Jurassic Park. I'm getting out of point again, so I'll jump back to it.
The "B" FIX is the usual choice, no one wants to start over from the beginning because of a small mistake, "a moment of weakness" as they call it or a "thoughtless moment." It's not a bad thing anyway, to give someone a second chance.
The "A" FIX is the daring one, changing the page and starting over, letting go. Life isn't black and white, even if the weather is, don't mind the weather part, I'm just grumbling because I haven't seen a sunny day for a week now. Even so, when the rain is over you'll see a rainbow in the sky, and that means black and white are gone.. Not yet, it's still raining.
