Return of the Mag Light (Auto 2.0)

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”
~Seth Grahame-Smith


You have to start somewhere. It's as simple as that, not to put too fine of a cliched point on things. So go ahead. Move your left foot. Now your right. See that? You're walking. Now I'm going to ask you to run. As soon as you get started, someone is going to pull the rug out from under you and laugh as you fall down. Relax. All of this is quite normal, I can assure you. 
Now stand up. 
Take a look around the room and try to focus on the light that sits on the table. That light will be an example of everything that you think you know about a given topic. In ten seconds, the light in the middle of the table will go out. 
Now focus on the darkness of the room. The darkness of the room will represent what is missing from your formal education. If you start to notice that you are being beaten about the face and neck, please curl into the fetal position and accept what is taking place. Beatings will begin in ten seconds. 
Now that you have been efficiently pulverized, please take a moment to register the taste of blood in your mouth. This sensation is meant to help you understand that with everything taking place around you, only that which comes from inside has any real value. 
Now stand up.

  1. I'm going to hold off commenting until I see all three takes and can do the favorite engteach compare & contrast thing.

  2. Which seems fair to me. I can clearly tell that you are less enthused about this one. I can't say that I blame you, in all honesty.
