I don't know why but I get up damn early every morning now. Har Har, yes, I'm getting old. Anyway, so, this morning, I had a moment of clarity.
I was thinking back on how life is similar to a scene in the movie "The Three Amigos". I hope all of you out there have seen the movie. I'm not a big Martin Short fan but the movie is damn funny. Anyway, on to the scene.
In the scene, the Three Amigo's are riding thier horses through a desert. They look at the beating sun and decide to stop for a drink of water. The first guy gets out his cantine, opens the lid and tries to drink from it. All that comes out is a buch of sand and he gets covered in it. The next guy does the same thing, opens his cantine, tuns it up. This time, like 5 drops of water come out, and he barely has enough to wet his lips. Both guys look defeated as they look over to the last Amigo. The last Amigo opens his cantine, hesitates, then turns it up. This time water comes flowing out, covering his face, hair - it's like a water hose. He drinks as much as he wants and if I remember correctly, he even gives some to his horse. After he's done, he throws the cantine on the ground, and it's still leaking water. The other two guys watch and nearly pass out.
Just something to think about. The difference with life is, you could be the first Amigo in one respect, and the third Amigo in another respect.
