Giving up

Have you ever just wanted to give up? You just get tired of all the crap of the job and life... My life is more than pretty good outside the doors of my job that pays the bills. I have a stunningly beautiful wife and angels for children.

For the most part I enjoy my job, because I get to help kids. Even when they lash out at me (which they have the right to do with someone) I am helping them be safe and trying to re-unite them with their families. But, when people who are not really part of the case throw out their opinions and wild accusations my way, that is when I get unhappy and want to revert to the former Mike who wants to take a bite out of their life and make them misserable with the most powerful life giving and taking thing available, my tongue!

I am amazed at peoples ability to tare down others and not even batt an eye then turn around and whine and complain when it is done to them. I sit back and listen to this mess of self-causing crap and roll my eyes and want to tell them to grow up "you reap what you sow, if you sow discord and harm, that is what you will reap."

So, here's the lesson for today.... Don't ruin a day or a life for the moment if you don't want your ruined. Not everyone deserves to be treated poorly. If you are one of those people, here's my advice: Check yourself... Ask yourself, "Would I want someone in my face or sending me nasty e-mails? Maybe I should verify the facts before spouting the poison that can ruin a day of someone who does not deserve it."


Blessings,

Mike III
