AN UN-DRIVEABLE BENZ
One particular day I was getting my haircut and during the cut I was facing the window. Across the street was an autobody shop that had a couple cars out front and in the midst of those cars I noticed a benz. I said “man that Benz hard but it can’t even go nowhere.” That’s when it hit me, a lot of things in life can be like an un-driveable benz.
The Benz out front looked like nothing was wrong with it. It didn’t look too old, it still had a nice platinum finish, and at the end of the day it’s a benz for Christ sake! lol. However, no matter how good it looked I knew it was being wasted if its sitting out front not functioning.
An un-driveable benz can be like a seemingly healthy exterior(Slim, Nice Skin, etc.) but the insides are in peril. I’ll never forget a conversation I had with my cousin. We were at my aunty apartment and we just finished swimming. I don’t know what triggered it but I said to him “cuz just because you’re skinny don’t mean you’re healthy”.
That conversation always creeps me out because my cousin ended up passing several years later and he was skinny & tall, you would think he was a perfectly healthy kid(he played basketball and everything). But what outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell is that he had a vicious battle with asthma.
Being in shape or just appearing fine is nothing if you’re not actually fine. A new KIA is automatically better than a Benz, if the Benz doesn’t even operate. So to put this thought to an end, think about the classic phrase “its whats on the inside that counts” and continue forward from there!
