The Flares Shouldn't Fool You
Imagine that you are a heat seeking missile, cruising along at speeds approaching really fast!
Your target is in front of you, an enemy transport!
Hitler has been cloned and is in this transport. You need only to blow it up to save millions of people.
You're getting really close now, 5...4...3...2...1...
Suddenly the enemy releases the small and insignificant flares!
For whatever reason you decide to go after the flares instead, and explode way off course.
Hitler escapes to his Nazi martian base.
What just happened?
Cheesecake.
It happens to all of us. Chocolate Cheesecake.
You were doing so good on your diet when suddenly the world throws a Big Mac at you. Is that enough to make you explode?
You were doing so good with your money when suddenly the world throws a new movie at you, is that enough to make you explode?
You were doing so good with your marriage when suddenly the world throws an intern at you, WILL YOU EXPLODE?
Of course not.
Hitting the target is worth a million points, but hitting the flare is worth one point.
Now you might not be able to tell the flares apart from the target, but that's easy. Just keep going straight at the target and you'll hit it.
