False Positive

 


Have you taken the test?

Did you pass or fail?

Is that it?

Or do you get a second opinion?

I sat in the classroom with all the others. I listened to the teacher and copied what was on the blackboard.

When the test was handed out, I failed.

Do you get a second chance?

Now there are medical test to see if you are sick.

What if you fail?

Do you go to a different doctor to get another opinion?

Life is just your opportunity to explore and make decisions on how you wish to live.

You meet someone at a party and seem to find a connection until she introduces you to her husband.

That was a false positive.

If the doctor gives you a certain time until the lights go out, do you follow the diagnosis?

What if that is a false positive?

She is going to have my baby.

That was a false positive.

You are going to get that raise.

That was a false positive.

You will stay married.

That was a false positive.

Your house will get you through retirement.

That was a false positive.

The warranty will last on your dishwasher.

That was a false positive.

Your roof will last forever.

That was a false positive.

You will live forever…
