One way to get through your tunnel is to remember nobody’s life is perfect, even though commercials and TV shows like to claim it’s possible. My friend, Lynda, was looking really sharp, and I told her so. She remarked that she had bought a new bra, and the name of it was “NOBODY’S PERFECT!” That reminded me of how many of us have to live in situations where nothing and nobody is perfect—not even halfway perfect at times.
It’s easy to expect too much from people, or from products that are advertised as “The perfect answer.” I was in a car wash recently, and while I was paying my bill, I saw a counter display selling little bottles called “New Car Smell.” On the label was a picture of a spanking new car wrapped with a big bow on it, and without bothering to take a sample sniff, I just bought a bottle, figuring I could stand a new car smell in my ’77 Volvo.
When I got home, I sprayed it around inside the car and almost got sick from the aroma that seemed to be a combination of old oil, tar, and bananas. If a new car ever did smell like THAT, the owner would surely think something was wrong.
I also remember some years back when stores carried un-popped popcorn that came in colors. The kernels were bright red, green, purple, and orange. I bought some, thinking that when it popped, we would have some truly colorful popcorn. We stood around and watched it popping, only to learn that it came out snow white as usual. The colors we anticipated never did show up.
Advertisements have a way of building our expectations, but we learn reality the hard way. No spray will make an old car smell new, and colored popcorn always comes out white. Yet, something inside of us keeps us willing to believe those ads. Maybe we’re always hoping for that miracle, and that’s why we always try something new to see if it does what somebody says it will, to see if we can find the perfect solution.
