Epiphanies. Sooner or later almost everybody gets one. They are the proverbial Good Idea, the light bulb that suddenly goes off above your head. They can be Major Ideas. Like Albert Einstein and his E=mc². Or it can be relatively minor. Like for instance: A DUm-DUm is hitting their hand with a hammer. Their hand hurts. When they stop hitting their hand with the hammer their hand will stop hurting. Of course for a DUm-DUm this can relatively be described as genius. It can lead to an inspirational weapon: Barnes Wallis and his Dam Buster bombs. He was also was involved in the development of ejection seats for aircraft. Or this Epiphany can lead to life savers: Penicillin, the Salk vaccine, Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet to name just a few. It can be the coming of age Epiphany that comes with sudden realization that the opposite sex is something that is nice to snuggle up to and kiss. There really is no limit as to what or when you can get an Epiphany. You may not get one until you are about to die, or you entire life can be filled with Epiphany after Epiphany. Newton, Rutherford, Stoner, great geniuses and their contributions to science and humanity. But what about yours? What caused your Epiphany? What made you (literally or figuratively) get to your feet and raise a finger into the air and say, “Ah-HAH!”? It doesn’t have to be all that great. Was your Epiphany along the lines of “That guy/gal is the person I’m going to marry and spend the rest of my life with.”? Or was it “I’m getting a divorce!”? I don’t want to know WHAT your Epiphany was, I want to know: What Was the Inspiration For Your Last Epiphany? |
I siad other. I guess for me it was just last week I got one. I was thinking about women, & how I lost mine, & how will I get one, & will that make me happy. Then it happened, I rememberd what the bible say's about our lives in general. In all things give God praise. In other words, thank God I have time alone & on my own without all the crap a woman can cause in my life. I'm good with or without a woman. I'm doing ok, & I will be alright even if I never have another.
