Announcing…the SaboLator!

You’ve probably heard a lot of talk about the Google eyeglasses, and computers that can recognize and translate language.  But you may not have heard about the amazing device I just created.  It’s called…

The SaboLator.

It’s the world’s first self-sabotage translator.  You simply enter in your validation for why you’re not wealthy, healthy or happy – and it translates it into the true meaning!   Here are a couple examples for you:

“There was no time to exercise today, because I had an early flight.”  SaboLator translation: My health isn’t important to me, so I didn’t get my ass out of bed early enough to do my exercise.

“I could have done that, but I chose to be a stay-at-home parent instead.”  SaboLator translation: I didn’t think I was worthy, so I used my kids as an excuse for not even trying.

“We may not be rich, but at least we’re honest.”   SaboLator translation:  All rich people are cheats and liars, so we take perverse pleasure in being broke.

“I know lots of rich people and most of them aren’t very happy.”  SaboLator translation:  I hate money and don’t think I deserve it.  If I demean the people who have it, I don’t have to make excuses for my own lack of success.

“I’m trying to get ahead, but my bill collectors are harassing me, my bitch ex-wife is dunning me for child support, and I need money for smokes because the tobacco companies got me addicted.”  SaboLator translation: I take no responsibility for my actions and blame everything around me.

“Very funny Gage.  This is all easy for you to say because you’ve had so many breaks and were fortunate to have opportunities most really poor people don’t have.  And if you understood the unique situation I had to go through, you’d know that in my case, I really am the innocent victim of circumstances.”   SaboLator translation: Don’t try to wrest my victim-hood away from me.  I earned it and I’m going to wallow in it!

The SaboLator is in production now and will be available for orders soon.  Should I sign you up for one?

    I have wanted to say this one a few times but didn’t want to be ganged up on by a group of mothers.  Not saying that all stay-at-home moms are this way but I have met some that totally blamed the kids and then lived lives of bitterness and regret later on.  They tell you to place your oxygen mask on FIRST in the airplane and then help others.  So, gotta get your air so that you can be useful and not regretful.

    ““I could have done that, but I chose to be a stay-at-home parent instead.”  SaboLator translation: I didn’t think I was worthy, so I used my kids as an excuse for not even trying.”
     
    => choosing to be a stay at home parent may not be sabotage… it may be the best thing for everyone involved…
    You, your family & your kids may be worth being a stay at home parent.
     
    just as getting healthy and slowing down may be the best thing… it is could be saying you are worthy

    1. BerniceTempleman1 February 27, 2013 at 5:27 pm

      Sometimes we attach our worth to our work, how much money we make, how much volunteer work we do, etc… God loves us … it does not depend on how much we work & sacrifice… he wants us to be happy… and we are all unique… we can’t compete with others… we have our own gifts, talents and work that brings us joy… so maybe for some that is being a stay at home parent.

Let’s throw this in to your SaboLator : “Lots of People Disagree with me, so I have to prove them wrong.”  Sabolator Translator ” I have no faith in my convictions, because many of them are inconsistent and insulting to myself and others”  Randy it does not matter if your fat, poor, and a stay at home mom as long as you love yourself.

     We are “who we subconsciously beleive ourselves to be” NOT we are who we “think” we are.. so you’ve kind of revealed, in a playful, creative way, the hidden order of self-deception RG. Well done!

  132. @ThomasMrak Vineet, LenejytteHansen, Thank you for your kind comments and encouragement.  It is nice for a person like me who is clinically insane and medically untreated to have positive empathic folks like yourself in my corner.   Keep up the good work in the world.
