| This has been bothering me lately, because I'm seeing it happen in a few different places. I might sound like a bitch, but that's a risk I run.
I hate apathy. If there is one thing I hate more than apathy, it's being happy about apathy. If you don't want to do something, then don't sign up for it. If you have signed up for the job, don't complain about it. You might not like it, you might not want to do it anymore, but don't give up on it. You have designated yourself and your time and effort to do it. Your apathy that doesn't give you the right to be mad about it or stop doing it, or stop trying to do it. Suck it up. Do it, because you said you would. And what are you without your ability to follow something through to the end? Don't let everyone else down because you are tired. We are tired too. We feel the same thing, we go through the same thing, if not more, than you do. Why should we be put in compromising positions because you decide you don't like what you've signed up for anymore?
I understand frustration. I understand tiredness. I understand, I promise. I've been through it all too, and am going through it now. But we have committed to doing this, and doing this for some reason, whether it be money, or pride, or the bond. If I'm going through it too, then what makes you think I want to bear an even bigger load? I've got plenty going.
Don't be mean to us because we do what we think is best. Don't be mad at us because we don't want you to be apathetic. Don't be mad at us because we are tired too.
Remember that. We are tired too. But if we all buckle down together, then we will get through this. But it's hard to do when you have one apathetic weight dragging you down.
I do love you. I just never get the chance to tell you that anymore. |
