Lather, Rinse, Repeat


What could be more boring and mundane then shampoo? Well, maybe the instructions on how to use it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

If you haven't already noticed, I love to take an idea and apply it to life and morals. It's just a thing I have. A friend of a friend mentioned how monotonous life can get, especially when talking about good vs. evil. Nothing is more cliche then good triumphing over bad but it is the structure of life. There are endless ways to look at it.

So what does this have to do with shampoo? Well, no matter how clean we get our hair, we are just going to have to do it again. No matter how much we lather and rinse, we will have to repeat. There will always be a new, cool looking bottle with the same stuff in it. But it always comes back to the basics, whether it's making the right choice between gossiping or keeping it to ourselves, cutting someone off in our car or being more patient, or creating a home of frustration and anxiety or finding the peace within to share. Finding the goodness in the mundane is what it's all about.

And don't forget, you have a nice clean head to think with when facing the real challenges of good vs. evil :)
