When the cold winds of boredom blow, people often seek warmth in the fire of entertainment. This fire can be stoked and fuelled in many ways … one of these is to wind up people. Fill people's heads with stories, myths and ideas and instigate them enough to rouse them for a fight. The ensuing fight is then entertainment for those cold bored people.
Some people will believe in hearsay, they will let gossip affect them and they will initiate a fight or an argument, without realising that they are harming themselves in the process. They are wooden logs that others use to fuel the fire of their own entertainment.
Some people will keep a calm, steady head and won't jump to conclusions or actions when gossip is brought to them. They use their own brains to assess a situation rather than accept it in the way it is presented to them. They are iron rods that refuse to be used as fuel for the fire of other's entertainment.
So, what are you? A wooden log or an iron rod?
