There are a lot of times in my life when I become increasingly more depressed about the state of humanity as we see it today. Speaking for myself, I am often saddened by how I could have achieved so much in my life, but instead, I went ass backwards, and got a family before I got a career. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife, I love my children, I won't trade them for the planet, but still, there are times I wish I could turn back the clock, and give it another go.
But still, when you look at the rest of the world, you wonder. For instance. I had a situation where a patient in the hospital, which I just recently was, was getting mad because nobody checked on her. I too had the same feelings. This one though is a lot sicker than I was at the time. She basically gave up, and decided to walk out. I tried to talk her to come back in, being security, that's what I am supposed to try and do, and with some soft voice, and a little coaxing, I did.
I then see the nursing staff basically treat her like a callous tumor on the ass end of a donkey. I'm not surprised that this person walked out pissed off. Maybe she's a skel, maybe's she's not, but damnit, why do people who have power, who have the ability to make a difference, who have the ability to change people's lives, why do these people always think they're God's gift to humanity, and that they can treat you like dirt if they so choose?
It's a quandary I'll never know the answer to, but damnit, it pisses me off, day in day out.
