| I have noticed a trend lately and it involves the | | | | himself as 'justa' doctor of medicine, would |
| insertion of a phrase before what we do to pay | | | | anyone allow him to operate? I have also |
| the bills each month. It isn't an important phrase | | | | wondered on Sunday mornings lately, if I would |
| and it really doesn't have any right to be inserted | | | | still be in the pew if the minister introduced |
| in the first place, but it is just the same, | | | | himself as 'justa' minister. What about 'justa' police |
| now-a-days. The unimportant phrase I am | | | | officer on a poorly lit side street at two in the |
| referring to is the phrase 'justa'. Think back to a | | | | morning? Would I allow 'justa' fireman to carry |
| time when either you or another inserted the | | | | me down the ladder away from a burning building. |
| phrase before stating your title or profession, | | | | Lastly, I've wondered how many strong healthy |
| such as "I'm 'justa' stay at home mom", or "I'm | | | | young men and women would follow the orders |
| 'justa' furniture mover". | | | | of 'justa' president! |
| This phenomenon has lead me to wonder how | | | | You see, the more I unraveled the unwritten rules |
| many years of higher education it would take for | | | | and conditions for the phrase insertion I realized |
| one to be fortunate enough to have a profession | | | | that it was all silly rubbish and truly needed to be |
| or title that didn't follow the phrase 'justa'. I also | | | | done away with! It was simply nothing more than |
| wonder, while onthe subject, if professional | | | | a product of our own low self-esteem. How many |
| criminals have to follow the same unwritten rules, | | | | times have we conditioned the ears of our |
| as we do. I mean do they have to say, no sir, I'm | | | | children to such foolishness by saying I am 'justa' |
| 'justa' get-away driver? What about, 'justa' | | | | car salesman or 'justa' home school mom? As silly |
| jewelry thief and 'justa' bank robber? Or is this | | | | as it sounds, it is even more silly for us to use |
| just a silly phenomenon not worth mention? | | | | the phrase insertion in the first place. Now if |
| If we study the whole silly phenomenon just a bit, | | | | someone, who thought a bit more of themselves |
| I think we will find that the whole phrase insertion | | | | than they should have, gave us the phrase and all |
| process is a product of egotism? Some so-called, | | | | the insertion rules, I say give it back! We don't |
| superior 'other' person, sometime referred to | | | | need the phrase and we surely won't miss it. We |
| collectively as 'them', told us that we must insert | | | | can and will live very well without its silly |
| the phrase under penalty of something, because | | | | nonsense. |
| 'they' were better than us because we had, only | | | | There are no 'justa' anyone's. If you replace the |
| a low level job. While on studying, I did wonder if I | | | | phrase with a more fitting, and descriptive word, |
| would find that the insertion process was nothing | | | | such as lowly, unimportant, or ineffective. Then |
| more than a product of our own low self esteem, | | | | one would be forced to stop and remove the |
| therefore self inflicted or justly due toanother's | | | | inserted phrase all together, because we now |
| egotism, and/or a combination of both. The fact | | | | would be entering the 'political correctness' arena |
| that certain higher paying professions are exempt | | | | and we don't want to go in there! In the process |
| from having to insert simply re-enforces this point. | | | | of removing the inserted phrase 'justa', we all |
| However, this isn't carved into stone and seems | | | | became more important and needed once again, |
| to be as full of special conditions as the original | | | | worthy of love and friendship! It's like everyone all |
| insertion unwritten rules. | | | | of a sudden just received a promotion by |
| After wrestling with all the unwritten customary | | | | throwing out the inserted 'justa' phrase! Now we |
| insertion policies and rules of use, I was left | | | | can once again be proud of 'a honest days work'! |
