The subject this time: Self-Involvement
Today on the www.dont-be-a-hero.com blog we get personal. Sometimes people feel the need to get involved in their own lives to do things like "taking good care of themselves". Today we'll inspect ways to avoid being involved in your own personal welfare.
Lesson 1: Outsourcing...
If you find yourself needing food for example, don't get involved; get someone else to. Lucky for you, not everyone is as adept at not getting involved. With little more than a few button presses and a a few words you can often have foods delivered to you, most commonly from Chinese and Pizza restaurants. Sure you could go get it yourself, but you don't want to be a hero.
Lesson 2: Indifference...
If you find yourself acquiring diabetes and your doctor tells you there are multiple dietary changes you can make and supplements etc. you can take to help your body heal itself, you find that to be a bit too involved. Instead, carry on with your normal routine, and accept the now inevitable insulin coma and or death. Better that than getting involved in one's own personal health.
Lesson 3: Self Control...
If you find that most of your food has been genetically compromised, as the majority of all food (In the USA) without the "Non-GMO" certification is, you might be tempted to get involved in auditing and changing your dietary habits. You might want to even get your kids real peanut butter. Your friends might suggest you buy things like filling, nutritious, NON-GMO, soy-free, delicious protein bars in bulk so you can actually afford them. But this can get quite involved, requiring that you read labels and throw stuff out and go buy Non-GMO certified real food etc. Don't be a hero. Just swallow whatever has a flashier package. Never mind people or professors telling you about things like "lateral gene transfer".
Lesson 4: Relax...
Sometimes you may find yourself in the company of a healthier smarter individual that encourages you to exercise and take care of yourself. Clearly they want to be a hero. Don't be a hero. Relax and tell them to chill out and eat some genetically compromised corn and soy products. Enjoy watching your gut get fatter as your muscles atrophy to the point you need a scooter to get around.
Lesson 5: Dependence...
Every once in a while you may feel the desire to become independent and grow your own food, produce your own electricity, etc. Again people, please don't be a hero. If you try that you'll have to you know, do stuff. Let farmers and electricians get involved with that stuff.
Lesson 6: Ignore Stuff
When's the last time you heard about a CDC whistle-blower confessing to fraud; doctoring data to cover up the fact the MMR vaccine does in fact increase the incidence of Autism? Never? Ok well, if you ever hear it in the news, ignore that. Otherwise you might be tempted to get involved in holding the responsible parties accountable for giving millions of children a debilitating illness.
Until next time, don't be a hero folks!
