The Pillow Fight: A Lesson in Judiciousness

Dear friends, today I want to share a story from my past, a tale of feathers, laughter, and a lesson in judiciousness. It’s a story about a pillow fight, but not just any pillow fight. This one taught me a valuable lesson that I’ve carried with me throughout my life.

The Great Pillow Fight

It was a cold winter’s night, many years ago. My siblings and I, full of youthful energy and confined indoors, decided to engage in a friendly pillow fight. Now, you might be thinking, “Kev, what could possibly go wrong with a pillow fight?” Well, let me tell you, my friends, it’s not the fight itself, but the choices we make during it that can lead to unexpected outcomes.

The Unforeseen Consequence

As the fight escalated, we made the ill-advised decision to include our grandmother’s cherished feather pillow in the fray. In the heat of the moment, it seemed like a harmless addition. However, when that pillow burst, sending a flurry of feathers throughout the room, we quickly realized our mistake. Not only did we destroy a beloved possession, but we also spent the rest of the night cleaning up the mess.

The Lesson Learned

That night, amidst the laughter and feathers, I learned a valuable lesson about judiciousness. It’s not just about making decisions, but making the right decisions. It’s about considering the potential consequences of our actions before we act. Had we thought about the possible outcome, we would have left that feather pillow on the shelf.

So, my friends, as you navigate through life, remember the pillow fight. Remember to be judicious in your actions. Consider the potential outcomes before you act, and you’ll find that life is a lot less messy.

Until next time, remember to live wisely, live well, and always consider the feathers.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
