"Cut It Out"

SOURCE: Stephen Wright. http://www.owl232.net/wright.htm
KEYWORD: Sin, "No man is an island," connection, unintended consequence, cause, effect.

'In my house, there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Germany. She said, "Cut it out."'

I was thinking about this joke in the context of how our actions affect others. No person is an island. Our choices, even benign ones, tend to impact the lives of others.
