You can replace it.

If it’s the plumbing, call the plumber. He can install copper pipes, which are better and worth the expense.

If it’s a car, buy a new one. There have been improvements.

If it’s religion, you can go to another church.

If it’s a marriage, get a divorce. You can get a replacement. They say, “There’s someone for everybody.”

If it’s the government, vote in a better one.

If it’s a war, you can bury the hatchet.

If it’s the future, remember the past.

Or,

If something’s broken, you can fix it.

If it’s the plumbing, call the plumber. He can unclog the drain.

If it’s the car, take it to the mechanic. He has the parts.

If it’s religion, you can join the congregational oversight.

If it’s a marriage, you can work it out. There are professionals who can help you re-find your spark.

If it’s the government, you can fix it with courts and laws and like-minded people.

If it’s a war, you can beat the swords into ploughshares, or…better yet, never start it in the first place. Gene Roddenberry taught us that with Star Trek when the United Federation got rid of all wars on the planet.

If it’s the future, you can let education lead the way.

Or,

you can just live with it.

That, I don’t recommend in most cases.

But,

the point, and the good news, is:

There’s always something.

As Hamlet says, “The readiness is all.”

I’m ready.
