If it was as easy as Rubber Eraser Day, which somebody has labeled today, life's mistakes and misgivings could be corrected with a simple application of the pencil or chalkboard eraser.
Sometimes a little rub would do it and other times it would require some extra muscle. Sometimes it all depends on much energy we want to exert. Sometimes it's easier to just scrawl another layer of lead or chalk to cover it up, forget it and move on.
Maybe that's the big stick we should carry through life. Not the one that threatens and scares others, but the one with a big eraser on the end that acknowledges we're going to make some mistakes along the way and are willing to correct them the best we can, albeit clumsily and incomplete at times … all because we fit into that category of being human.
