Storms: Are You A Crab?



Have you ever noticed how crabs that are caught in a net, dangling from the end of bait, about to be cooked in a pot, hold on to each other for dear life? I know you have noticed. You can't help but notice. Well, they grab each other by the legs and by the claws and they pull and pull until they damn near break each other's legs off. In some cases, they do break off legs and claws. In extreme cases, they kill each other. I know you are wondering where this is going, right? Well, if you know me, YOU BOUT TO LEARN TODAY!!!

Are you a crab? I am not talking about literally a crab, but figuratively speaking. Are you that person that sees your friend, associate, or maybe a rival, getting ahead and you hate on them, sabotage them, or make their accomplishment seem like it is mediocre? In other words, you young folk, may refer to this "crab behavior" as being a "hater".

Well, I say, don't hate the player, hate the game. What God Has For You is For You! No man, woman, crab, or hater can take that away. Anyway, back to my crabs, they pull and hold on, but failing to realize that the more they hold on to what the other crab has, the more they put themselves closer to the boiling pot. Humph, I think all of us have been a crab at some point in our lives in our lives; however, the crabs that miss the boiling pot are the ones who realize that they must just LET IT GO!
