Really, it’s more like: when the good goes bad and it’s truly ugly.
It’s so disappointing when something beautiful, born out of love for other people on this planet, becomes ugly. The best of intentions can go so far awry, get so tarnished and become such an awful thing, it truly is stunning to me sometimes. Without being too specific, it’s a real shame that a group of people who came together out of love for their fellow man, to give what they can, when they can, has spiraled out of control. It started with someone saying, “Well, I gave what I had and nothing’s been done with it.” A somewhat innocent question, especially if you’re a newbie. It’s easy to forget that our goal is to produce something whenever we’re able, but without the unpleasant pressure of a looming deadline.
I can appreciate the enthusiasm; however, folks have to remember that the group came together to support others who are ill and that many of us who were drawn to the cause are not fully able-bodied ourselves. Many of us are working with limitations and so we don’t produce a regular product.
And yet, now all of that seems to have gotten perverted. Now there is too much finger-pointing, too much of we’re not getting anywhere and our leader is at fault; forgetting that our leader and the previous one, as well, has real issues of her own to deal with.
Life can be cruel, but people can be far more so…
