Mistake No. 3

Fool.
This is not the first time you made this mistake.
Unfortunately, it isn't the second either.
So then, how many more mistakes do you have to have to learn?

You have it.
The gold is in your hands, within your grasp, at the tip of your fingertips.
Why exchange it for some other shiny rocks, or for some broken glass pieces, or for pyrite?

Why look for something that isn't yours?
More importantly, why throw something that you have for something that you don't?

Do you enjoy tugging an invisible rope?
Do you expect winning a game without even joining?
If not, what is it, then?
What do you get from trying to cross a road and stopping in the middle of it?
What do you get from driving a car in full speed with your eyes closed?

You can't defy gravity.
When you try to jump, you'd fall.
It's a law.
So think about it, you idiot.
You knew where this is headed.
Oh yes, you knew very well what's there at the bottom.
Why wait for something you know you'd regret?

Oh, I forgot, you're a fool.
So be it.
Choose.
Hit the bottom or don't jump.
Cross at once or don't cross at all.
Open your eyes or don't drive at all.
Find a cure or prevent it.
Accept it or stop it.

It's that easy.
I know you knew that.
In fact, you're not a fool at all.
So stop pretending to be one.

We only have a limited number of fingers to count our mistakes.
Do not attempt to use them all.
