So the guy did not know that this straw is the last straw and he should not burden the camel with that.
But isn’t the threshold an invisible man you realize has been standing in front of you only when you bump into him/it. So we know thresholds do not come with brims which you can see when they are about to overflow or they are not like transparent measuring cups; that is the reason we keep pushing our luck. Since beginning humans have been teasing the thresholds till they come back and bite their backsides off.
Dinosaurs did not stay back in caves and wanted to go for a stroll everyday to watch the snow and have social hunting plans till the frost got to their brains and back spaced the species all together. The Neanderthal kept playing with the fire till that one got his hand burnt beyond repair and that is when he told the other Neanderthals that fire is hot it burns.
Then came the humans who still have not learnt how not to push your luck,since childhood keep talking in the class thinking that ah this one time the teacher will again ignore and then comes the note to parents. Then at college tests keep pushing your luck with the invigilator trying to act smart and get the guy on the side to help you cheat until you are kicked out. Then at the job sneak in late, scram early from work, thinking your boss is deaf, dumb and blind until you get the stinker. We keep pushing our luck with our parents, spouses and neighbour’s dog; but we still not learn where to stop.
I wish there was the orange light before the seams would burst and heaven’s fall.
