As a kid, I loved the cartoon show Scooby-Doo. I was always in to mysteries. And, still am. I could easily sit down watch Scooby-Doo on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I also find myself often quoting the show from “jinkies” to “if it weren’t for those meddling kids…” Some people get it, others don’t. For those who get it, we have a good laugh and snicker.
What I also liked about the cartoon is that it taught you an ugly life lesson pretty early in life. They were always chasing a supposed ghost or monster. Howeve, inevitably, the monster always turned out to be a human. Often, a misguided, greedy human. The same can be said about real life.
The monsters that appear in your life are just humans. Misguided, deceitful, perhaps undeveloped humans. They shouldn’t be attributed any more power than that.

Did you ever think life would turn out like this? Ya, pretty much … except I thought we’d all be riding around in a van solving mysteries.
