1 March, 2011 at 12:37 pm #452840When we contradict our gut instincts is it because we can’t accept how it should be or things are not as clear cut?
Confusing………answers please :lol:1 March, 2011 at 1:08 pm #452841@kent f OBE wrote:

Confusing………answers please :lol:I think we often tend to go against our gut instincts when it goes against the logical answer or we can’t explain it. Until we learn to ignore that gut instinct at our peril, then rather than face questions or ridicule, we go along with the obvious more logical answer…then live to regret it.
I was once looking at a second hand car with my then husband, and everything within me was screaming to walk away, but to all intents and purposes it ticked all the boxes – the right model, low mileage, good price, very good condition, reputable well-established dealer. I couldn’t explain why we had to walk away so we ended up buying it. 3 months later the dealership had gone out of business, the engine blew up and the warranty was worthless, cost us quite a bit of money that we didn’t really have to put right. We never ignored my gut instinct again.
It’s the same with people, sometimes you get that feeling, that niggle, that you can’t explain, but you just know to be on your guard and you wonder whether you’re paranoid. Then further down the line they do something that proves you right :wink:
2 March, 2011 at 3:18 pm #452842I have just had a wonderful conversation with a customer who is a wheelchair user about his recent leg amputation. As well as having a touch of the inevitable sadness, there was a lot of humour, strength and courage in his experiences to adapting to life minus one leg. At the end of the conversation he thanked me for treating him “like a normal human being and not like someone who has lost his brain as well as his leg” (his words).
How sad that so often so many people can’t see the person inside and judge mental capacity on physical capacity…although I suspect that once he’s got to grips with things he’ll be far more physically capable than I am with both my legs.
Kinda puts it all my “troubles” into perspective.

i lost my arm in the army
i lost my leg in the navyi lost my willy in a butchers shop
and found it in me gravy :)3 March, 2011 at 10:52 pm #452844I got to my mums house this afternoon to be greeted by an ambulance… luckily it was not for her but for an old boy who had been tearing down the pavement in his mobility scooter when the wheel had come off and he had been tipped out onto the pavement!
Something sick inside of me wanted to laugh as my imagination ran away with me but I had to stay focused and keep a straight face. Luckily he didn’t seem to be seriously hurt but it got me wondering how much compo he will claim for that!!!
