Opus 2026-140: Click Bait: Questionable Benefits

I have enjoyed some of the click bait I have encountered.  I don’t know if it is under the heading of social media but some of the memes showing male humor really strike home.  The things that these guys joke about are hilarious because they are so true to life.  I have also watched some podcasts by women who are trying to help husbands understand the thinking and actions of their wives.

After watching all this I feel better about myself.  It is good to know that I am not the only man in the world who sees no point in folding his underwear.  At the same time it points out things that will never go away in this life unless I do things I am not able to do.  That lays on the guilt trips that I was able to ignore.

I wonder if there are times in life when it is better to not be aware that there are cures available.  Sometimes the cures cause problems worse than the original.  We all know about side effects of medications.  I remember when I was concerned about toe nail fungus.  I was told there was a pill I could take that would clear up the problem.  Fortunately for my health I had done a little research and knew that one side effect of the pill was problems with you liver, or should I say potential side effects.  The possibilty of damaging my liver was enough to make ugly toenails endurable.

I am getting to the age where things start falling apart.  It is part of life. I accept it.  How often are elderly people faced with the choice of a potential procedure or medicine that is billed as a miracle but it comes with a price tag that will bankrupt your family?  I am not there yet but I keep hearing about it.

Hopefully we have people in our lives that will help us work through these types of issues. May your health be wonderful and your choices be clear.
