Sign language is an artistic way of communication that not all of us can interpret, nor master. Isn’t that the same reason that not all of us can read signs—as in, metaphorically? Red flags aren’t always red; green lights aren’t always green; and sore points aren’t even visible. Science says humans are at the top of the list for most intelligent creatures, but some animals have a better response and reaction time when they sense harm or fear.
I get it. Things aren’t always clear. You need a voice to go along with that sign, don’t you? I regret to inform you that you’re on your own. The good news is you somehow figure it out, all alone. But if after all’s said and done you still get it wrong, keep moving on. Third time’s the charm we say for a reason. We might be smarter than animals, but we need to learn how to work that intuition.
Good thing this is real life and we get more than three times to get it right, or keep dismissing them red flags. Either way we’re learning and learning and learning…
