Ignorance is Bliss.

This picture was taken in 2007 while I was in Europe, visiting my family. In Slovakia, in the little town of Tomasov, is the farm my great grandparents lived on, and that is currently occupied in the summer by my grandparents. These old little towns, with not much in the way of anything 'happening' are quaint, quiet, and really a throw back in time. While I was walking around the lot, I came upon a shed to see a cat, cuddled up to this saw blade. It wasn't my grandparent’s cat, or anyone's in the family, just a country stray enjoying the sunshine. If only it had any idea of the danger it was so comfortable next to. In a lot of ways, we sometimes do the same crazy things in life. We don't realize the danger or maybe we don't want to, of the things closest to us. It could be people, friends, jobs, situations - anything. Sometimes it's a good thing, and if those things don't pose an immediate threat, then why not? We survived, and we move on. Other times, we aren't so lucky. But if that dumb-ass cat knew that if someone just switched on that saw, what it could actually do - it probably wouldn't be so damn comfortable.
