Moment by moment (or pound-by-pound) we take snapshots of our lives and compare them to the snapshots other people ALLOW us to see. We study our “picture” to see if we have what happiness requires. We are looking for any reason to be happy with what we have or what we are doing right now as we PERCEIVE happiness is defined by our respected peers and society in general. We see only the snapshots of other people’s lives and create this paradigm of what happiness really is by comparison and by observed compliance. We all...myself included...live (subconsciously) by the “rule” of pluralistic ignorance to avoid the feeling of deviating from the imagined path that (society tells us) leads to happiness.

The lady who first showed up at the door and never checked it, why? Was she afraid that walking in too early would cause those who see her as “work” have to stop their pre-8am coffee and doughnut time causing her to be the center of unwelcome attention? Why didn’t anyone else check the door? Were they afraid of the same unwelcome attention or did they just see what everyone else was doing and fall in suit? They likely observed the perceived compliance and unquestioned her motives as being the “norm” to a stressful situation: the first day at a new job.

Like Shakespeare said this about life. But I repeat his words when it comes to fad diets and lose-weight-quick promises,

“It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.”
