Only Fools
Believe Anyone Gives A
Damn |
May 19, 2012
Before we know it, we are in the
last days of our lives and
wonder, "WTF?"
There are the feuds,
fusses, arguments, and other complete wastes of our time,
emotion, and energy. I am always amazed by the capacity for
human beings to hate and to hold bitterness
toward, and seek retribution against, others. This is such a sad
waste of human potential. Yet it is insidiously pervasive.
And then
the deeply disappointing
failures in close personal relationships... epic failures
that hurt me all the way into my soul.
How is
it that every time I help someone I end up being used...
abused actually.
People whom I never would have expected to do wrong to me make
me out to be the bad guy after I bend over backwards to help
them and to make serving them my top priority.
No one is
genuine.
Those who have been the
recipients of kindness turn on you, desperately
trying to justify their bad behavior. Those who seemed to want
to create relationship actually use you for whatever they think
they can gain from you, then discard said relationship.
Whatever happened to
the
golden rule of "do unto others as
you would have others do unto you"? It seems that even
the "religious" among us, who ought to know better, are offenders
in equal measure to those who are not religious.

Therefore I have hated
life because the work
that was done under the
sun was distressing to
me. For everything is
futile and a chasing
after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 2:17 |
So, in the time remaining, I
find myself less willing to trust, far less charitable, and saddened
by nearly all that I encounter... and particularly deeply
saddened by those who were close to me.
What a
misery life has become.
I begin this new year with an
intention to return my focus to my family and my business. No
one else seems to give a damn... and I have been a fool to
believe otherwise.
What
should be engraved on my tombstone?
