I had a handful of things I wanted to write about today ranging from the power and role of story to education and passion. Instead I find myself in front of a keyboard and angry because of the role agenda and coddling play in all facets of life and how whenever that part of life worms its way into my own, things do not go well.
There is a tendency to assume that because someone has special needs they are necessarily a good person. This is untrue. Having special needs does not determine a person’s personality or ability to manipulate a situation for personal gain.
I find myself in a situation where I am faced with a person who is like many other people I encounter in day to day life–in that they are trying to get what they want and have no sense of anything beyond their own needs.
This is a difficult one for me, because I will be seen as the bad guy for doing anything less than supporting and acquiescing to the needs of that specific person. I will not do that and as a result things are not going to go well. I can tell you this: I have learned from this experience that I will not put myself in this situation ever again.
Some Thoughts:
- I long for a life where my only work is the creation of stories and the teaching of the process of story.
