Frogs and Hot Water

02003-02-07 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

My birthday was last week and what I thought about most of the week is this:

When a frog is dropped into a pot with hot water – it jumps out immediately (almost?) unharmed….but if it is put into a pot of cold water which is then heated slowly it will stay in the pot and boil to death because it can’t tell when it is getting too hot until it is too late……
That scientific fact seems like such an apt description of the human condition as well. If life takes a turn for the worse slowly, just a lit bit at a time….when do we decide to act or make a change? I find this a most difficult question….
