After All This Time

I can’t believe it’s been six years since my last entry. I’m not even sure why I thought about this tonight but here I am. It would be pretty silly for me to attempt to catch up on all that’s gone on in the last six years so I’ll just set out to write what’s on my mind as of this moment. 

I’m having an issue with people at work who have no real understanding of ethics or character. I’m now 49 years old and I find myself anywhere between 25-30 years older than most of my co-workers. Why is it so hard for people to know the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong. There will always be challenges in life and obstacles to overcome. Living through these experiences is what determines and builds character. Character is doing what you don’t want to do but know you should do. Basically, character is who you are, reputation is what other people say you are. 

Given that, I’m surrounded, I’m really not exaggerating, by people who will take the easy way out. Now here’s my newest catch phrase, if you can call it that. I’m not comfortable with doing anything "at any cost". I’ve come to find out that most people, mainly younger people, will do whatever they want "at any cost". There have to be limits. There has to be moderation. I believe you can do "almost" anything you want if you practice moderation. 

So I’m four beers into the end of my evening and I really wasn’t planning on writing tonight so I’m going to bow out gracefully. Maybe I’l return, mayhap I won’t. Such is life…..
