My Insurance Dilemma
There is a
law that mandates homeowners buy fire insurance. I have read
the old housing laws which command fire insurance coverage. I am not
living by the law; I have not purchased a fire insurance policy. An insurance
salesman knocked on my door, asking me if he could come in. I replied,
“Why should I let you in and purchase your fire insurance policy?” He reminded
me of how scary the world was and that house fires are a real threat. I really was
not too worried because I make good choices and take reasonable precautions. He again warned
me that I must let him in and purchase his insurance. All my
neighbors let him in, have purchased his fire insurance and feel safe. I still refused
because I had not seen enough evidence that house fires are a real threat. Finally, he
said let me in so I can protect you from the coming wave of house fires. I asked him
how he knew a bunch of house fires were coming soon. He said,
“Because I am starting them to punish those who do not buy my insurance.” I refused to
let him in or buy what he was selling…until better evidence was presented. A few years
later, the same insurance salesman invited me over to see his amazing house. When I got
there he had a full gasoline can and a book of matches sitting in his front
yard. He proceeded
to tell me his plan to save all of the uninsured homeowners of our
neighborhood. He wanted me
to dowse his house and burn it to the ground in front of all his neighbors. I denied his
offer claiming arson breaks other laws that insurance companies try to uphold. He told me
the burning of his house will forgive all the uninsured law breaking homeowners. Sacrificing
his house will allow the uninsured to have an opportunity to save their own
houses. He handed me
the can and matches and said burning his house was his best plan to save mine. He assured
me that he would rebuild, proving his insurance is the best protection
available.
My Insurance Dilemma SUMMARY:
I’m to let him in and accept his insurance…

And…as a

He will let
me sacrifice his house …

free will to say, “I accept…”
…or have my
house burned to the ground…
