The Little Green Blinking Light.

Ever noticed the rush that this little green blinking light residing on the front panel of your PC runs into you while it is running, it just keeps going on and off all the time, trying to call you and say "Yo , am here ,i am alive,i am moving,just go on , do whatever it is you were doing and never mind",this kind of rush is what makes you feel safe, my computer is doing well, it gave me the sign, it whispered to me that everything is gonna be alright.

Now imagine the fear you encounter the moment you look at this light to find it OFF , "oh my god , something is going wrong, this little thing inside is not working well,am loosing all my work , i need to do something about this",you just stand still, seize your progress, and start whining about how bad your luck is because of this -yet to come-great loss.

Ironically , nothing is actually wrong , it is just that this LED was accidentally exposed to a high voltage that caused it to breakdown , hence , it is not glowing anymore, and all other things under the hood are simply doing great, reads , writes ,control signals all are fine, you just panicked because of a silly malfunctioning indicative light, hooray , you are back to the safe zone again.

next time i will make sure my very own little blinking light is functioning the way it is supposed to do, it will save me the hassle of making every one around me swamping in a circle of panic.
