Cockroaches In The Kitchen and Innocuous Things

Cockroaches In The Kitchen

Theres a saying I heard a few months back that has really stuck with me. “There is never only one cockroach in the kitchen.” If you see one cockroach, there is most likely a lot more somewhere else, and even though you cannot see them, they are there. Strangely enough, this is applicable in everyday life more than you would think. We tend to downplay the negative character flaws in the people we surround ourselves with. We try to isolate their bad qualities and convince ourselves that “there is only one cockroach in the kitchen.” Be wary of the people in your life you describe as “they are a good person, but…”. They most likely are not as good as you think, and probably have many more cockroaches than you imagine.

Innocuous Things

The things in life that appear the most innocuous are in fact the most dangerous. The habits you think are harmless can cause more harm than the obvious ones. What you don’t know or realize will hurt you the most. No matter how confident you are, nothing is guaranteed. The things you believe you can count on the most are, at times, not as “structurally sound” as you may think.
