Don't be Fooled

Today's post is a blast from the past.  Hope you enjoy it.

I heard a great story the other day that is a great metaphor for life.  A group of people had gone to an alligator farm and after taking the tour, stopped off to look out across at the gators from an observation point.  Along the opposite bank lay lots of enormous gators and others not quite as big.  Beside them was a sign that stated:  Do not be fooled.  They aren't sleeping.

People stood around and watched and the gators really did appear to be sleeping.  Not a single one moved. After a few minutes, a guy decided to see how close he thought he could get to the "sleeping gators".  He climbed down over the railing, giving his camera to a friend.  I guess I don't need to tell you what happened.  They weren't sleeping.

How many times in life is there a sign that clearly tells us not to be fooled by something, and then we go right ahead and do it anyway.  Just remember:  They're not sleeping.

The End.
