How to Get to the Other Side
January 8, 2025
The comedian George Carlin, who was one of my favorites, had a routine where he asked why people sometimes check the same pocket twice for keys that they can’t find.
His question is “What do we think? The keys flew back in there between the first time and the second time?”
The reason I may do that is a more logical explanation. I think maybe I didn’t check the pocket thoroughly enough, but now that I think about it, there are all kinds of interesting things that happen in life. And remaining optimistic about them has its own power.
So, if somebody does think “maybe the keys flew back in there”, between the times they checked it the first and second time, perhaps there’s nothing wrong with that at all.
