Panic

A horrid aspect of social media is that they spread panic like wildfire. People without a clue tell us that the market is crashing, or there’s some deep conspiracy going on, and, ironically, the more sure of themselves they are the more profanity they use. People become panicked by others’ panic. What they fear IS fear. There’s a threshold beyond which ordinarily brave people give up and run because all around them are running, and normally modest people stand and fight because others around them are fighting. This is why very average people wind up stealing from stores during riots—because everyone around them is stealing.

Kneeling

I don’t see many athletes kneeling during the national anthem anymore. That protest behavior seems to have dissipated, even in these tough economic times. And when it was popular, it wasn’t the college athletes doing it, but the multi-millionaire professionals who were making some statement, most of them not even engaged in personal philanthropy. And now we have people harming innocent others by taking out their political frustration on other people’s cars. You can’t fix stupid.

Medical Treatment

How is it that so many doctors and dentists treat their patients so well and with such obvious care, yet their own front office staffs are obnoxious? It’s amazing how many of these people eat while dealing with patients, or tell jokes and laugh uproariously while waiting patients are in pain, or concerned about test results. Perhaps some consultants should specialize in shopping a doctor’s operation and providing a “customer’s” feedback? Or maybe the doctors should just enter through the front door rather than the back door each morning.

Championship Form

The true profile of a champion to me is someone who performs excellently when the pressure is the greatest. It’s the basketball player who has the ball and whose team is down by one point with ten seconds left. It’s the quarterback who has a minute left to drive down the field for the winning touchdown. It’s the runner in second place by five yards with ten yards left in the race. I watch major golf matches not because I enjoy or even play the sport, but I like to see how players perform as their thinking gets in the way of their swinging on the final holes.
