in my job i sometimes have to do tough things concerning people. because life is so much more important than gpa's, iq's, $$, success, etc., i have to sometimes be a HUGE brick wall...or bulldozer. man, i can't tell you how hard that is sometimes...especially when some people really think life IS about entitlement, self-esteem, consequence-free lessons, and tons of "little" things.
and more than work...real LIFE is full of moments like these. the tough parts of really loving people.
it's funny because when that stuff has to go down, it's like some people think we just love being hard on people. that we must not care at all. that we like to see misery and inflict "pain".
and...it's so not like that.
it's just hard to convince someone of that in the heat of it all.
so today, i chose to do that part of loving that i don't relish to the fullest. seeing the bigger picture of life and who we are all destined to be, it was a good and right thing to do. but the "doing" of it...kinda felt heavy.
...especially because i'm familiar with the backlash that comes...
so, do we keep on keeping on? i guess i like to think people's hearts are worth it...
