One day, it'd do me in.
This streak of mine that so clearly defines right from wrong, which in turn makes it so difficult to just ignore stuff and be happy sometimes... Principles that I hold strong (some say too strong). Values that I hold dear (and similarly, some say too dear). It pains me to see them being trampled on by others.
Yes, I do know that sometimes, my insistence at doing the 'right' makes me rigid like a silly robot. And I admit that, to those who openly, repeatedly, blatantly, arrogantly throw morally sound, guiding principles out of the window, I sometimes (forgive me) feel a slight twinge of contempt towards them. Of course, I'm no saint, not even a millionth part of one perhaps. Am just a fellow human being who's trying to do good instead of harm. All humans err, at some pts in time - this I understand. The question is - was it a genuine oversight or a purposeful act driven by some underlying sinister force?
One day, it'd do me in. I just know it. But does that mean I'm going to compromise and be as soft-boned/inconsiderate/wayang as 'those who can't be mentioned'?
Definitely not.
Looking at the way I'm turning out, I'd probably end up as some old, cranky, domineering, self-righteous spinster. Argh!!
