The Duck is back.

The duck walks down the street. He is minding his own business enjoying the nice weather. He seems to be pretty happy. During this walk, other ducks and animals are passing him by. The duck tries to say hello to others and he is either being ignored or getting strange looks. The duck doesn’t understand it. “Why are these others looking at me like this? What the hell? It’s like I have antennas growing out of my head.” What the duck didn’t know was that really wasn’t it. He tried to ignore it and kept walking. He really didn’t have any particular destination, but as others kept staring at him the way they were, he needed to find a place fast and see what they all see. The duck waddled fast. Faster and faster to get somewhere. But something was slowing him down. Something was pulling him back. He tried harder to go, but now there is like this weight that he couldn’t understand. He quickly stopped. He slowly turned his head to see what was behind him and to his surprise he saw this tiny little green man with his little green foot in his butt. He took a moment. Then the duck swung his butt and the little green man went flying. He landed on the ground and picked himself up, gave the duck a dirty look, and yelled something that the duck couldn’t understand. The little green man reached in his pocket, took out some remote thing and hit a button. A tiny spaceship flew down from the sky and lifted him up and flew away. The duck shook his head in disbelief and decided not to ask any questions. He turned around and walked away with a smile on his face. 

The moral of this story is simple. Sometimes there are things in life that kick us in the ass. We walk around with that weight, try to ignore it, and be happy. After a while we will try to run from it, but the pressure builds. Though, if only we can just stop for second and think things through, we can get past it whatever it is. We can just kick that weight into outer space and go on with all the better things in life that are really worth it.
