SHUNNING THE ASSHOLE

CLICK HERE FOR AN AUDIO SUMMARY >>

Once upon a time there was a perfectly healthy body. It was given the title as the "BIGGEST, BADDEST, BODACIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, BODY, BUILT." In fact, this body was so toned and wholesome, that most of the other bodies it came into contact with were likely to feel envy. As perfect as the "BIG BEAUTIFUL BUILD" appeared on the outside there were conflicts, divisions and issues within. Every limb, member and organ within this "Big Beautiful Body" considered themselves the most important part of all. Although the internal environment of the B.B.B. was competitive and divisive the common objective to "shine" in every way possible kept dissention in check. For some time this status quo was accepted and maintained as normal, but as the body grew and matured other parts desired more recognition as they developed more prominence mentally and physically. There were days of confidential strife, that the B.B.B. stayed embroiled in its ongoing debate regarding which of them were the most important. Each part would state its argument and present its case before the entire gathered body privately, but never in public. Occasionally, one member or another temporarily assumed the title of the most important part for a limited time until the controversy erupted again. One day when the argument erupted again, a new body part spoke out. This part asked to be considered just as important as anyone else. When the rest of the body heard this new voice, they were collectively shocked to find out that it was coming from the ASSHOLE! With cruelty and disdain, they all began to laugh the ASSHOLE to shame. The B.B.B. got so carried away laughing at the ASSHOLE that they failed to notice that the ASSHOLE had closed up and completely shut down. The following day, the jolly stomach which had laughed so vigorously the previous day, began to ache. Another day passed, and the eyes which cried tears of laughter were finding it hard to focus. Everybody began to pay more attention to complaints of the stomach. The brain got foggy, the mouth got dry, the heart quickened its beat, and breathing became more labored. The B.B.B. was battered, bewildered and broken after just four days of the ASSHOLE on strike. Eventually, the body caught on. The ASSHOLE proved to be as important and significant as all of the other body parts. So, for a while the B.B.B. ​promoted the ASSHOLE into prominence and he temporarily became the most important member of the B.B.B. Some may ask what the moral of this story is or what does it prove? It proves the point, that just like Arkham Razor, we should never underestimate the importance of any function. We should never underestimate the perils or the responsibilities that come along with any position. The main point is easy to understand, but the moral goes even further. THE HIDDEN MORAL OF THIS STORY IS THAT IT ONLY TAKE ONE ASSHOLE TO SCREW UP THE WHOLE BODY! We must each evaluate our own thinking and behavior and search our souls to make sure that we are not the ASSHOLE that's screwing everything up!
