Jul. 30th, 2003 07:18 amI'm tired.
A friend of mine found out he may be laid off in a month, so the posse rounded up for some bbq and moral drinking support. In a way, the choices he has made in the past have contributed to his problems of today.
I'm fairly critical of people who do not properly get their shit together. Still, I try to be compassionate. Not everyone grew up with the same perspective I have. I learned that there are no guarantees in anything, and the only way I could maximize my stability and safety was to work hard to guarantee it myself. I cannot trust a business or the government to take care of me in the fashion I wish to be cared for.
So I thought ahead when I could: ensured I had marketable skills, found a job with good benefits for employees, kept bridges from being burned, built up savings and investments, bought a house. Furthermore, I don't let any bump in the road throw me off course. I view that as a waste of my time.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, not suffered through. At least, that's the objective of my life.
