Network Cabling and Installation:
If our life were like cables, you and I would get tied up in the worst kinds of ways. There would be absolutely none of God’s mercy to keep us from snagging everything that came within reach of our coils, pulling us until we broke, tying us in knots, or causing us to harm others by entangling them in our length. We would be subject to every instance of Murphy’s Law, causing us to hate the very day poor ole Murphy was ever born. Lighting Cables have no way of knowing if being directed in a certain direction will make their length longer or shorter. They don’t even know if the cable they are next to is a part of them or another cable. You see, cables don’t think like you and I do, and not particularly concerned with what direction they take, or are pulled in.

You might think that cables aren’t very smart because they are constantly getting tied up in the same old knots over and over again. They have what’s referred to as an adversity to learning, some folks say. You can untie a knot from a cable one minute and the next minute the cable’s back into the same knot. This incurable behavior that cables exhibit makes most people adverse to cables and refuse to even touch a cable when the cable is befallen by it’s adversity to learning. Ironically, I have seen people throw cables down in rage and frustration, stomping the very life out of them for insulting their intelligence with inappropriate brain twisters that are ill-timed and uninvited.
I have discovered that cables have an irrepressible primal instinct to entangle themselves around anything that they can come near. This is a testament to mankind that it has failed to domesticate the cable from its prehistoric beginnings of binding and encompassing. You would think that by now we would have cables untying themselves out of knots, stretching out straight, standing or sitting on their ends, and doing exactly what we want them to do just by gesturing at them, probably as a result of employing cable trainers hired by us to intimidate a cable into submission. Connection Cables may not be very smart but they seem smart enough to get out of that one. I have found that they don’t like rolling over, stretching out, standing on their ends, or sitting where they don’t want to.
Cables are very lonely and will reach out to anything they can find for companionship. They will hang on to just about any and everything they come in contact with, especially other cables. They seem partial to jagged edges but have been known to become attached to some of the most unlikely things. Cables aren’t particular like humans when it comes to “hooking up” with something. They will literally hook up with anything. I think that cables are also animated — secretly — as well. I haven’t seen it yet but I know for a fact that cables can move by themselves. You can pull a cable through an opening that you know has nothing that can snag the cable unless the cable jumps over there on it.
