A Horse, a Pool, and Peak Human Achievement
Honestly? Did we really need this story? Another heartwarming tale of heroism to distract us from, I don’t know, actual problems? Because apparently, rescuing a horse from a swimming pool is now considered news worthy of national attention. Fantastic. Just what the world needed.
Lets dissect this, shall we? A horse wandered. Okay. Horses wander. They’re animals! They have legs and a vague sense of direction that frequently fails them. It happens! But no, instead of acknowledging this as a mildly inconvenient, albeit predictable, event, we summon firefighters and animal rescuers. Because apparently, the logical response to a wandering equine is a full-scale operation involving flashing lights and concerned murmurs about animal welfare.
Im sure the horse felt incredibly grateful for the spectacle. I bet it was just thrilled to have a dozen people fussing over its predicament, likely while dramatically posing for pictures. And we’re all supposed to feel good? Feel inspired? I feel slightly nauseous from the sheer saccharine sweetness of this narrative.
Meanwhile, real issues fester – poverty, climate change, political unrest – but no, lets celebrate a horse getting wet. Truly, peak achievement for humanity. Bravo. Standing ovation. Can we move on now?
