Watching a little tennis a day or two ago.
A guy made a bad shot. One of the commentators said: "A fairly inexcusable error."
Wouldn't it be great if we all had life commentators following us around, offering opinions about major decisions we are forced to make in our lives? Pointing out our mistakes so we can make mid-course corrections? Most of us don't learn from our mistakes; we just beat our heads against the wall. Some helpful expertise in the moment could re-direct us towards happiness.
They would have to be life experts of some sort.
Many tennis commentators play tennis so they know exactly what they are talking about. At the very least, most of them have spent a large chunk of their lives commentating on it - they have to be experts on the game and the competitors.
Not sure how it would work. How is a life commentator assigned? Which one is best for you? Who decides?
Maybe the entire pool of life commentators should be made up of fuck-ups - people who have gone off the rails with bad decisions and paid the price...............but survived. People who see the signs and are well equipped to issue warnings, and maybe even advice. But even just warnings would be a large improvement. A solid smack to the head could prove to be a life changer when horrific decisions are made.
What a great, original, and possibly money-making idea. I hereby apppoint myself Commissioner of Life Commentators.
Currently accepting applications.
