So, I have a little mantra in my life and maybe this is because my grandfather was a blacksmith and another was a carpenter, I did test to have a high level of mechanical intelligence when I was in high school, back when only boys could take auto mechanics and only girls could take home econ., but I like to leave things better than I found them.
Call this an obsession, okay, fine, but I see so much F’ed-up-ed-ness in the world that gosh darn it, if I can make one teeny corner of this
F-ed up world better, I tend to do it.
Therefore, when I see a condition that could use some bettering, and this has been on the job or with my family or even with my sad excuse for a husband, I will endeavor to make it better.
Here is one thing I can tell you for certain: MANY PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE OR APPRECIATE THIS do-gooding.
I do not know why. Maybe I’m just strange and people LOVE the messes, like to EXPLOIT the messes? IDK.
Maybe they hate me because they think I’m just doing it to show off? DID I SIGN MY NAME TO IT? NOT ALWAYS. AIN’T NO BYLINE FOR ME.
I do it out of frustration with this horrible place I live in, and my frustration with many other aspects of the human condition. And probably because I had two fix-it grandfathers. It’s probably genetic.
The older I have become the more I believe that some people are put here to bring light into the DARK places, and others are only here to bring a lot of greed, selfishness and darkness to the picture. I tend to choose to be the light, if I can; if I have the strength and I’m not too depressed and overwhelmed by the dark.
