de-Centering Self part two

So how in creation does smacking with an oversized mallet a frog leaping at you through a hole in a table top help you become less self conscious and more Christ like? Unless the frogs are icons of the mean and stupid little things you occupy yourself with in order to shirk love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, faith, meekness, and self control then it probably serves the opposite. In other words if you no longer, or perhaps never, considered and enacted the responsibility of honor toward your neighbor before yourself then these frogs: hate, anger, violence, impatience, vileness, rowdiness, doubt, pride, and greed, at least nine frogs in all, need to be swatted regularly and as often as they appear.
