Life at this moment...

There are so many people in this world that do not give one second to thinking of someone other than themselves.  And while I don't claim to be saintly, I would like to think I, at least, try to adhere to the principals and morals my mother lashed into me.  Do unto others, as would be done unto you etc.  And whatever the hell happened to compassion?

Clashes of personality.  In this twisted life and fucked up world we live in, this happens a lot.  More than anyone, in their right mind certainly would like.  I have just made a decision, that while I will not regret, hated with every fiber of my being.  I found though, one's mental health is more important than a paycheck. I just left a situation that was more mental and emotional war zone then happy fun time.  I came up against someone who thought one-uping someone was a mark of a good sales person.  That being a power hungry know-it-all and having a schizophrenic mentality was just par for the course. Say what?!

I loved my job.  Granted, I have been blessed with an amazing husband that gives me the ability to not have to work.  I chose to get out and find something to keep me mentally challenged or maybe it was just entertained.  Ok, it was wine, so yeah, entertained.  Or is that smashed??  Who knows? And certainly, extra money is something no one ever says no to.  

I really do understand that I'm not going to like everyone around me and yes, not everyone is going to like me.  Duh!  However, I wonder, is it really so hard to try to not be a douche all the time?  Bitter? Me? Oh no! Yes, this is me totally de-evolving into a pubescent.

We live in a totally apathetic world.  Where it is ok to treat others poorly simply because you feel like it.  All for purely selfish gain.  We live in a society where it's always someone else's fault.  Where it's actually ok to not accept responsibility for one's own actions.  Where finding a way around something instead of moving forward to face a challenge head on with grace and poise is the expected behavior.  It didn't used to be this way.  There are days when I think I wasn't meant to live in this day and age.  And while the past was not perfect and was harder in so many ways, the foundations of people were still good as a society.  Yes, I know there were miscreants even then but they were not the norm.

Ugh! Ok, I'll stop with the depressing talk about the state of the world we live in.  But yeah, that's where my head was a couple of months ago... Hmm what next...gaming, nerdism, heehee, who knows... Welcome to the crazy world of Karen!
