Behold the Good Enough Shield. Not the Magnificent Shield. Not the Great Shield. The Good Enough Shield.
Before you is the symbol that stands for almost all men. And almost all women and kids as well. This is a profound Seal under which the great majority find home.
I behold the Good Enough Shield and swear allegiance to it as an avowed Also Ran. Nay, away withe the wins, places and shows who walk the Earth slightly ahead of all.It is we Also Rans whose numbers could stop up the course of mighty rivers and who could bend steel with their shear weight. Yay I identify myself as an Also Ran with pride. Well, not pride, more like interest. No, maybe indifference. Or mayhaps acceptance. Yes, I accept my Also Rannitude. I look at the others, the statistically insignificant others, the wins, places and shows with indifference. I revel in my anonymity and the inconspicuity of my friends and fellow Also Rans. Stone Thrower
Good enough is good enough.

A shield, by any other name, would still be Good Enough
ReplyDeleteI'd rather set myself apart as the oddball than be part of the murky multitude. Mostly I don't care.
