The Spellchecker

Foreword

There are maybe a handful of lessons to get you out of what you might think are "check-mate situations" that would - at the same time set you up for life. If you understand them. "Don't be in that situation", would be one of them. If you missed the bus on that one, "trust only yourself", would be lesson two, and "time can be your friend" - if you let it - if you can sit back, and wait, and watch - and not react immediately, of course lesson three. This form of revenge is the oldest known to man. Like a mountain, staring with indifferent eyes to how the leveller of all operates. It isn't quite like you'd think. To wait it out and watch the clock and see what it does, can make one happy. It really can.
There are many things that are cause for great fascination on my part and come and visit to peak my curiosity, if you want. People who can't let go of things fall under this category. Ones who feel the need to exact revenge in a meaningful - that is to say an unforgettable kind of way and with a sense of urgency. I've always wondered quietly, whatever is the rush? It doesn't have to be immediate, I suppose, nor of Biblical proportions, but at least it requires a burning need to accomplish its aim - to be called revenge. Versus on the other hand to just let things go and play the cards you're dealt, and rather let karma and time do what they do best.

So anyway, here's what I'd heard happened.
