You will find the aisle a hectic freeway, filled with dangers galore. Meditate on this mantra, patience…and respect, as you proceed through this disciplinary course. If mildly inconvenienced, please repeat twenty to fifty times. Lesson 1: Safety Regulations Adhere to speed limits, maintain your lane, pull over as needed, and, above all, avoid the lackadaisical jack-knife. Why? You chose to participate in rush hour not a solitary, midnight drive. Lesson 2: Nature Studies Observe the employed bees, producing honey for a whole colony, worker ants that carry more than their weight. If your wipers function properly, perhaps you’ll see a mother barely keeping ends together, a student toiling for a better life. They are hosts, you are guests; with both comes responsibility to preserve the environment. Lesson 3: Common Decency An item might be vacant. A strong desire will tempt you to swat at the closest bee or ant. Don’t be surprised if they sting you in self-defense. When you decide to act like a child, you are entitled to be treated as one.
