Trying to Make Sure

Have you all heard about a myth, or rather a legend, which told us about Orpheus, a musician. It was said that his music was so beautiful that it could not only charm humans and animals, it could also make trees and even rocks move. Orpheus fell in love with a lady, by the name of Eurydice but she was killed on the wedding day. The sorrow and grief filled Orpheus descended into the underworld in hope of bringing her back. He got his way to the King of The Underworld by charming everyone in his way with his music, not surprisingly, the king was also charmed and was ready to release her, but on one condition, that he cannot look back at Eurydice before they reach the exit at the very top. However, when he was already near the top, when sunshine shone on his face, he looked back at Eurydice, as he was worried that the king had tricked him and when he turned back, as promised, Eurydice fell back to the underworld and why did this happen, this is because he wanted to make sure and from here why Orpheus failed, it is because he tried to do what all good hero had done-he tried to make sure.
Today, we are to talk about ‘making sure’. Many problems only start to surface or start when people try to make sure. Picture this, ‘when a immigration officer felt something odd with a package and wanted to make sure that it was nothing threatening, he opens to the lid to the package and it triggers the count-down of a bomb’. This case here shows you how ironic it is for people who liked to make sure. We can see from here that it is not always good to make sure about things and that sometimes it is not a good thing to make sure about things. Sometimes it is better to not think about much thing and just do what you need to do, that might bring you a better out-come. From here, we can conclude that sometimes it is not an appropriate move when you try to make sure about things, sometimes it is better to keep things how they are as making sure will only lead to more trouble.
