Hanging by a thread

Sometimes the only thing that you can do is nothing.

Every day I spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with silly problems that other people have caused. And most of these problems are simply based on the fact that people are illogical. They act as though they won’t get caught lying, being lazy, being inept. And the sad thing is, most of the time, they won’t. When you’re already battling demons from your past, your conditions, you rarely have any strength left to fight other people. Having to go through complaint procedures, compile evidence, write complicated documents, when you’re already fighting just to live is next to impossible. And so no ones calls these clowns on their nonsense. They prey on the vulnerable because they know none of us really want to fight back, that’s why we’re vulnerable.

But sometimes you have to try. Even if it’s just to stop one person from making life worse. One person that can’t go on to hurt someone else either intentionally or through casual negligence. That’s what I try to keep in mind as my world shatters and I feel like I’m battling alone. Maybe one person will not have to suffer as I have. Maybe one person will get the help they deserve because I stood up.

But God I hate standing back up.
