Meep Meep!!
You all likely remember the famous Road Runner cartoon character.
And certainly Wile E. Coyote.
No matter what Wile E. Coyote did, The Road Runner triumphed, seemingly with little effort other than speed. And a bit of bravado. "Meep Meep I beat you." Sort of thumbing his nose, ah, beak, at the beaten, temporarily, Wile E. Coyote.
I recall wishing, at times, that Wile E. would triumph, but knowing at some level that would never happen.
There are lots of Wile E. Coyotes out there. Not necessarily people but situations and problems that arise to try and knock us down. Unlike The Road Runner, no matter how fast you are, some problems can't be overcome. Nor can you run away from them, since they tend not to go away...like Wile E. Coyote. The important thing is to keep it all in perspective and not let these issues, road blocks, and inconveniences get the best of us.
Have you ever pondered whether The Road Runner said "Meep Meep" or "Beep Beep?" Yahoo answers.
For a trip back in time, enjoy this short cartoon.
