It is with regret I must say it has been discovered that I
have an unfortunate malady affecting my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
well-being. It pains me to admit that I suffer from the “Shakes”, a condition very
often invisible to those around me, nonetheless escalating internally.
Sometimes while driving, I suddenly without warning,
am overcome with the urge to shake my finger at other drivers or even pedestrians who lack,
in my critical opinion, the necessary skills for road usage. Absent it seems is
even the sense once nostalgically referred to as common.
Not limited to shaking fingers, I find that my fists are also prone
to shaking, even if only in thought. This occurs when I believe that my
fair pay, reward, recognition, or status has been overlooked or disregarded, intentionally or
otherwise. I am not given the respect or credit due me for how great I am, and
how invaluable my contribution has been to mankind. And do not dare take what
is rightfully mine, or detract from my people the good things they deserve. No, in such a
case my fist shakes anger, defiance, and even violence.
Impatience and frustration will set my leg or foot to
shaking as I mull over in my mind the responsible infractions, be they long
lines, slow service, inattentiveness or rambling conversation. Over and over I replay them, as
the shaking persistently worsens.
Perhaps the most menacing symptom of the Shakes and possibly
the most debilitating for me, would be the shaking of my head. I need look no
further than anything besides what I see in the mirror, before I am aware of
the incessant side to side motion. When appalled, disgusted, shocked or aghast
at the differing ideologies of others, their, style, manners, speech, taste, or
lack of these, I sense my head shaking. More grievous issues and character flaws
like pride, indifference, non-sensibilities, neglect, deceit, and ingratitude,
are dangerous triggers to my head Shakes, threatening to overpower me and
render me useless to correctly process information. When subjected to these I
become vulnerable to serious prolonged side effects and complications. The
Shakes is a pitiful diagnosis.
Fortunately there is a remedy that promises a 100% cure rate,
including a satisfaction guarantee. It is effective when extending forgiveness.
It is useful when taken with humility. It is fail-proof when combined with
gratitude. For maximum unconditional effectiveness, take on a full heart of
selflessness until symptoms subside. This is a powerful, highly addictive
treatment, not to be abused, but can be safely taken continuously as needed,
with no adverse side effects.
If you too suffer from the Shakes, whether occasionally or
more often, and however severe your symptoms may be, ask The Great Physician
for your own risk-free sample today. I did, and I can tell you it works! Ask
for it by name, L-O-V-E, and accept no substitutes. You’ll be glad you did.
P.J.
Most of all, love
each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for
practically anything.
