Isn't that the truth? What this meme seems to be talking about are those individuals who are quick to create situations or circumstances that give them immediate benefits and/or satisfaction in life, while never once considering that, in the long run, they could be affected adversely by the very situation or circumstance that they created in the first place. They create a "storm", and then when it "rains" on them, they get all bent out of shape and shell-shocked. I'd venture to say that every one of us knows the type.

But what makes this sort of situation even more frustrating is when we try to admonish the person to think about what they're actually doing or about to do, but they pay us no mind. In situations where risks are taken, the person might even point out how we're too calculated, too boring, or maybe some other pejorative label, which, in all likelihood, is just an attempt to put them above us and make what they're doing seem "okay". Most of us see right through this. I know I do.

The dynamics here can apply to a variety of things in life. For instance, when it comes to lifestyle, you may encounter a person who hasn't the slightest respect for money, so subsequently, maybe they are unable unwilling to budget money, spending every penny they take in on a lavish lifestyle that they've somehow come to believe they're owed. Throw in some recreational drugs, some booze, some open relationships, and some weekend getaways, and you've got a massive storm brewing on the radar. Point this out to them? Well, watch how fast you're called "negative" or "pessimistic".

But alas, whether you point it out, or whether you sit back silently and watch it all unfold, the "storm" eventually hits. For the weekend warrior, they have to fund all of this, right? Yes. And then there's this: What are they teaching the people closest to them..e.g..friends and family? Spouses? Children? If one doesn't respect money, health, sex, or other things that most people hold sacred, then what message is that sending? Here's something that's probably not ever occurred to these people: You teach the people around you what's important to you(or what's not).

When living a precarious lifestyle backfires, someone's bound to get hurt, and we shouldn't be too shocked when it's the person who created the conditions under which they got rained on. Yet, what we often see is that it's these very same people crying the blues after hitting rock bottom, and more perplexing, blaming everyone else around them. Look, if one sexual partner is a bore, then fine, sleep with multiple partners, share wives, make stag flicks...have a heyday. But don't complain if your partner strays and/or if you or they come down an STD.  

Seriously, if Jim Morrison is your role model and John Holmes is your idol, again, fine, but remember...........they're dead.
