Every now and then I have this desire, and that is;  that the general public, people you meet on a daily basis came with something like a Car Fax  LOL –

If they did, then you would exactly know what you’re getting yourself into before you begin, whether or not you’ll know, that it’s a lemon, that you are getting, that will leave that sour, unpleasant taste in your mouth.

You have all the facts right there in front of you, then and only then will you make that assessment and decision objectively; whether or not to involve yourself in in that mutual liaison of what I call ‘trolling for fish’

Unfortunately nothing like that exists, we rely on sentiment, emotion and gut feeling.  Those gut feelings are more often than not ignored, overlooked and disregarded,  because, we do not as; humans want to see the unscrupulous and manipulative behavior – we want to see first-class, the good in individuals. We generally believe the deception, because we do not want to see the negative.

We sometimes become little fishes in the deep blue sea, staring at the “bait” that gives us the impression of being “oh” so alluring, appealing and enthralling. Some become mesmerized; by the dreams and aspirations that your invited to be apart of.

Why, because we do not “pay attention” to our inner soul; forewarning us, telling us over and over stay away, stay very far away. We have all been there at some point or another.

This I find becomes a sport, of sorts, a game whose rules (the fish doesn’t know until its to late,)  of the one that’s fishing, they cast that charming line and start trolling and are superior at what they do, because they know nothing else. It’s learned behavior over years –and years and fishing makes them experts. Fisherman have patience and will wait and wait until they get their fish.

Their lives are lived that way, most likely as a result, of  lack of nurturing and encouragement as a child; in their lives; they are always on the move, running almost,  looking for that perfect lure to get another fish, and are relentlessly looking for another  fish that may or may not become some sort of assistance to them personally, professionally or financially only to move to the next, with more colorful and powerful bait.

Once they have you on board; your helpless, the sparkle of the shiny lure ensnared you. The stories are spun according to the situation and eventually change when the deception is discovered.

So what does the fish do? The hook is in you mouth, your struggle to get out but cant, you want to, your gut says too, but something is holding you back from fighting and struggling to take out that hook.

The fish stays, they have no choice now and the fisherman pretends, and considers – should I toss you back in the ocean, or should they utilize it until they acquire all that they need, only to toss you back into that ocean, with that sour taste in your mouth and well as that gash from the “hook” they used to reel you in.

Moral of this story – Shiny and sparkling lures are enticing, but there’s a reason why the fisherman changes his bait every now and then, only to help themselves at the expense of others.

Myself, I am a lionfish; astonishingly beautiful not in a physical sense;  as a person, inside, graceful with cautious movements.

Lures don’t work …lionfish are smarter than that, they know, the deception that lurks above the water line…it could very well be a shark and not a fisherman….
