This is not just about work...

I woke up troubled. It didn’t go away over night like I hoped. Somehow it stuck with me through my dreams and nightly delta waves. I made the mistake of checking my work email yesterday- that’s when it all started. Its hard to explain it all, but its not just the stress of work that got me down. Its people... again. You see, for my job task, we incorporate a lot of public input into the document we are creating. First off, I believe in this document. I think its everything that’s good about my field. It’s a step in the right direction, in sour times. It was created by hundreds of people that care about the environment, who have foresight and an understanding of the way the things work and the way things are going. We are the people fighting for the innocent, pure and simple beauty of life. We think if that goes away, everything else will follow. Its really quite simple.
Of course its not perfect. It still has the usual governmental bureaucracy between the lines, but its still a damn good thing, something that was missing and that was needed. Of course it has its wrinkles. In this endeavor we deal against big business, corrupt government, and people who just don’t get it (in my opinion). The people are the worst ones. Some jackass wrote to us and complained about everything. This guy expressed everything I fear in society, everything that is morally sidetracked from what I believe. He doesn’t understand what we are doing and the purpose of what we are doing. He expressed the values I feel is dead wrong about the environmental field- I was staring at my nemesis directly in the face, and somehow he was winning. It really feels like the country is going down the shitter, and the people are the ones running around the bowl faster and faster in the same direction. Its tiresome to fight it. But yet we have to. I have to go back next week, and deal with this jackass. This jackass that holds on to the past and madly flails when encountered to move forward. There is a lot of good in this world, but so much of it seems to be locked in the ice. The bad gets to leak out at a constant pace and infiltrate (my head mostly). I shouldn’t of checked my email on vacation! I hate to think this is all about work though. It feels like more than that. There’s hope for the future right? I shouldnt get caught up in it all. Its all been done before and its all going to happen again. I don’t know why I feel so ominous all of a sudden. Ok, I’ll say it...something very bad is about to happen in the world, I can feel it.

yea man, you shouldnt have checked your email on vacation. as for this world turing bad. look around and read the news, things seem to suck. but in reality they are probably just as equally shitty as past generations have though the world to be. I mean imagine growing up in WWII? i bet you they thought that the world was going to shit then too. and when we thing things are cool, our kids will thing the same thing.
