All these risky behaviors. Why do we insist on risking life and limb for a phone call, email, text, cheesecake, cigarette, or anything else we need or want? Because we want the dignity of risk. Sometimes we make informed choices based on information provided to us; sometimes we just go for the feel good. The quickest route to gratification possible. Immediate satisfaction, to hell with the consequences. Health care officials tell us smoking can kill us? What do they know? Besides if I want to suck down a pack of smokes, three bags of Cheetos, six double cheeseburgers and top it off with a text and drive that’s my business! If I develop heart disease, cheesy fingers, man boobs and a rearview mirror through my forehead that’s my right. I can quit work and join the circus then.
