The Grass is alway greener over the septic tank

I know, you're thinking: What a disgusting parable!" There is a point to it though, and those of you who are enlightened should see it clearly. There are a lot of people these days who are drinking from a proverbial septic tank. Our society is in a state of despair. Everything the world tells us will make us happy, actually makes us more miserable than before, and yet we keep drinking from the septic tank the world gives us to drink from, and never ask the questions we should be asking: Why isn't this making me happy? Why do I keep drinking from the septic tank when it tastes so horrible? Why won't I listen to the people who, like Freddy, keep telling me they can give me real water to drink! Why do so many people keep drinking from the septic tank and insisting that the people with the fresh water are persecuting them, judging them, intolerant of their way of life, etc.... etc..... etc....? Why do they ultimately end dying of septic shock or committing suicide in their last despair, rather than listen to reason? Even when they know how horrible the septic tank tastes... how horrible it makes them feel, they keep drinking and won't take the fresh water being offered them? The definition of insanity, by the way, is doing the same thing over and over while expecting to get a different result. Why don't people like Johnny realize they are insane, and why would anyone in their right mind try to stop someone from preventing another human being from making himself sick! Is this where we are at now as a society? Sitting back and letting someone harm themselves for fear of offending them rather than trying to help them?
