All this kindness is wearing me down. Not in the sense that I'm tired
of being kind, but I'm finding that the more effort I put in to be
kind, the more I see missed opportunities. Deep down I know I'm on the
path to being a better person but a small part of me still can't help
but wonder if I was better off before.
I feel like I'm in
The Matrix and I just took the red pill. I'm seeing all the ways that
people treat each other so poorly (especially myself) and that in itself
can be a bit depressing. You let a vehicle in and the driver can't take
the time to give you a wave. What could possibly be wrong with so many
people that a simple thank you is a ridiculous notion? I feel like I
should have taken the blue pill instead and then I would have been
content in my ignorance.
I know that's not really true
though. Sometimes contentment is a good thing. Contentment can prevent
one form getting caught up in the pursuit of material things. But
sometimes discontentment can be a good thing too. People that are
discontent might be more likely to push themselves to be better and influence those around them in a positive way. The world needs more people to lead by example.
