Odlazak Zdravog Razuma
(sa: Mostarski behar, from: Fikret Seferović)
London Times je prije izvjesnog vremena objavio ovu vijest:
Danas žalimo odlazak voljenog prijatelja Zdravog Razuma koji je bio s nama mnoge godine. Nitko ne zna točno koliko je bio star s obzirom da je njegov rodni list davno zagubljen u birokratskoj crvenoj traci. Bit će zapamćen po tomu što se držao dragocjenih lekcija:
– znati kad se skloniti s kiše,
– zašto ‘ko rano rani dvije sreće grabi,
– život nije uvijek fer,
– možda sam ja kriv…
Zdrav Razum je živio po jednostavnim ekonomskim pravilima:
– ne troši više nego što zarađuješ i oprobanim strategijama,
– odrasli, ne djeca, vode stvari itd.
Njegovo zdravlje počelo je naglo propadati kada su uvedene dobro zamišljene, ali teške regulative poput izvješća o: šestogodišnjem dječaku optuženom za seksualno uznemiravanje zato što je poljubio djevojčicu, o učitelju koji je otpušten jer je kaznio neodgojena učenika …
Zbog takvih i sličnih izvješća samo mu se pogoršalo opće fizičko stanje.
Zdrav Razum je izgubio tlo pod nogama kad su roditelji napali nastavnike jer rade posao koji su oni propustili uraditi u discipliniranju njihove neodgojene djece. Propao je još više kad su škole morale dobiti roditeljski pristanak da bi djeci dali losion za sunčanje ili aspirin, ali nisu smjeli da obavijeste roditelje ako je učenica trudna i želi abortirati. Zdrav razum je izgubio želju za životom otkako je crkva postala biznis, a kriminalci počeli dobivati bolji tretman od svojih žrtava. Zdrav Razum je prebijen otkad niste mogli braniti se od provalnika u vlastitom stanu, a provalnik vas je mogao tužiti za napad. Zdrav Razum se konačno odrekao želje za životom kad je jedna žena propustila shvatiti kako je kava koja se puši vruća, a kad ju je prosula u krilo, tužila je vlasnika kafića i odmah dobila ogromnu nadoknadu.
Zdrav Razum će biti ispraćen od svojih roditelja Istine i Povjerenja, njegove supruge Diskrecije, njegove kćeri Odgovornosti i sina Logike. Iza njega ostaju njegova 4 polubrata:
– Znam svoja prava,
– Hoću odmah,
– Netko drugi je kriv
– Ja sam žrtva.
Pogrebu nije prisustvovalo mnogo njih, jer je vrlo malo njih shvatilo da je otišao.
Ako ga se ti još sjećaš, proslijedi ovu vijest, ako ne, pridruži se većini i ne radi ništa…

R.I.P. Common Sense ~ Obituary in the London Times…
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn’t always fair, and Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy being charged with sexual harassment for kissing a female classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and when a Teacher was fired for reprimanding unruly students… only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents verbally attacked & sued teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their rude, unruly & out of control children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Churches became businesses; and when courts became more concerned about the convicted criminal’s rights and the convicts began to receive better treatment than the victims of their crimes.
Common Sense took a beating when one could be prosecuted for defending yourself from a burglar in your own home; and the yet burglar could sue you for assault. He finally went into a coma after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge out-of-court settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; and by his wife, Discretion; by his daughter, Responsibility and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his five (5) stepbrothers: I Know my Rights; I Want It Now; It’s not my Fault; But I’m a Victim and The Government Owes it to Me (AKA What About Me?).
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
