It's funny which things "matter" and which don't. Personally I'd rather be a good person and be able to look myself in the eye than be successful. So my lab reports are late and my points are flying to the wind, my test was abysmal...maybe tomorrow i'll care. Nobody grades you on caring for people, their lives and their health and for making them smile. Grad schools aren't going to care who was sick, if i slept or if i ever smiled in 4 years of college. We're all numbers, papers and stoic and hollow representations of human beings. Maybe these important facets of life never mattered...but these are the things that make a life. The other lives you touch, the good you do, kindness, when did these things come to be held second to blind productivity?
So I'm dissatisfied with the world today. And i can't be bothered to care. Fail me today and i'll care tomorrow but today i have more important things to think about. I have people to pray for, to worry about and to hug and that takes precedence, it always must.
