Risking the Fly

Risking the fly. 

Sometimes in life you have to just risk what might not end up being the most perfect of circumstances, in order to get something you want. More specifically, the other day I had the porch door open in order to get a little fresh air into the apartment. 

The unexpected or should I be more truthful, expected consequence was that a fly made its way inside. Now obviously, no one wants to purposely allow a fly into their home. The pure annoyance, and near impossibility of capture all make for an unpleasant experience. 

However, when weighed against the delight of the fresh air, then maybe taking the risk was worth it? Does a fly make its way inside everytime the door is open? Probably not. 

So is it worth the risk to deal with an occasional fly in return for an elevated mood? Perhaps so, of course, in opening the door you are also risking a mosquito or two which might be a whole other conversation.
