Moody Monday

Everyone is in a bad mood, so I thought I would rub salt in the wound.  

When people are really hurting I like to say helpful things like:

• Not my problem/tough shit
• Rub some dirt on it
• John Wayne it
• Suck it up/Deal with it
• You're just mad/sad/stupid/ridiculous
• Breathe short and shallow and concentrate on the pain
• Well, you did it to yourself/What did you expect?

Here are the things people say when they feel like they are failing

• They are doing it wrong
• They are cheating
• Them
• They are less talented than me
• They are out earning me

I usually think those things mean:

• I didn't expect it to be this hard
• I'm frustrated/afraid
• This isn't how I pictured this
• I wanted it to be this other way
• Nobody is listening to me.

We have expectations, emotions, insecurities, egos, greed.. All that messy human stuff.

Trying to do this without a centralized authority is challenging, it feels slow and frustrating.  I keep wanting to take charge.

If I did manage to take charge, I don't know that what I would do would be any better, but I promise someone would hate my solutions.

I don't have a point. . .  It's just social media do I have to have a well thought-out article?

Happy Monday Everyone.  It is likely to get worse before it gets better.
