Will Have To Be a Perfect Person
Brain: "Someone should do something about that."
Heart: "Why don’t we?"
Brain: "Not me!"
Why not?
I am only me.
Brain "Someone should tell her the truth."
Heart "What is stopping you?"
I am too shy.
But maybe you are the only one who sees.
I am just one person. She might not listen.
Brain "Someone should help that guy, but it cannot be me.
I make too many mistakes.
I have had too many failures.
I might make it worse."
Heart suggests: “Could we try to do just one of these things tomorrow?”
Brain is horrified! “I am not the guy!”
Heart asks, “Who is the guy?
Brain, “It is going to have to be a perfect person.”
Heart laughs.
