They naturally need to sort present crap out very quickly, before they lose our goodwill but let's be disgruntled customers accepting of our role in this too..
In a way we are like the punter who went for a swim and moaned when his 30 Euro Rolex stopped ticking!
Where the metaphor runs thin is in that our Rolex is better than the original, is still ticking and some of our number actually put the second hands on.
I love second hands that sweep... and i hate 'tic, tic, tic' hands... most of the clocks in my home are vintage 1930's, when syncronous movements were perfected... go ahead, look at your watch, or a clock on the wall,, do it now... does it tic? or does it sweep?
Back on topic... whenever something like this happens, be it here, or in a relationship, whatever it is... something is lost... it's never quite the same again, and it's not that we want it to be different... but it changes things... kinda like innocence lost...
But we move on... we pick ourselves up, we brush off the dirt, and we try to make the situation better... and even when we feel we have healed, we will still carry the scars.
