It was a 1971 movie that had a cult following, about a drug-addicted war hero wagered to transport a high-powered vehicle within a specified period of time from point A to point B. Whether the story had a discernibly rational plot or not was beside the point; the story entertained, and we gleaned from it whatever points we read into it.
That is probably one of the primary reasons why the movie gained in such popularity: people argued as to the “meaning” of the move and its ending, all the while never realizing that there was never a single answer.
Life is often like that, and perhaps that is why the movie itself gained so much attention. The meaning we demand from our own lives is often a matter of our own lack of imagination; we ask too much of concepts which have too little to give. As one of the character’s father stated in a Woody Allen movie, How can one know about the greater questions of the universe when “I can’t even get the can opener to work”?
For Federal and Postal employees who need to file for Federal Disability Retirement benefits, the “vanishing point” may differ from person to person. What you do not want to do, however, is to let the Agency or the Postal Service to determine the timing, nature, place and context of the “vanishing point” of your career.
Consult with a FERS Disability Attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and take control of your own “vanishing point” before a cult following you don’t even know about, develops behind your back.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
