So Many of Us Flip-&-Flop

“Those who appear heartless once cared too much.”

We know so many folks with a peculiar edge to them. An sharp edge that reveals itself through crassness and piousness.

Folks who have tried and tired to pull friends, relatives and acquaintances out of dire straights only to seemly be defeated by those they are trying to help. A helping hand that is cut off or swallowed whole.

So many of us start out caring for ourselves and those around us. In high school we build different friend circles. After the circles reach a  breaking point this intense concern for other and efforts to change their life course becomes a ‘damn them all’ philosophy. One of my best high school friends dropped out of his mom with this attitude bits of it stuck to us through osmosis… it wasn’t that he was a bigot, or racist… he just hated everyone until he got to know them… and didn’t like too many of them either.

You seem to care more for very few and have a massive disregard for most things. You’ve used up all your unattached ‘care’.
In this world there are so many evil folks. Folks who look for the venerable to jack-with to meet their own sick needs. I worked with a ‘man’ who spent his days sorting those under his control. (more on that in another post).

Folks who care, those who give, those with the ability to lift others ups… they are the ones beaten and cut by the evils.
