The Villain in My Life

"Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher"

That's not what I've been doing. Lately, I found myself stuck with people who drag me lower and lower until I hit the depth of despair. People come in different shape, size and personality. I'm not naive: I don't expect to meet angels and saints all the time. However, I also didn't expect to meet so many devils.

Villain #1: YOU MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL! (And this is really unfortunate considering that when I'm dead, I might not make it to heaven.) So, because of YOU I will never know what 7th heaven feels like.

It's amazing really - people don't do their jobs properly and the problems begin to snowball - oftentimes right at me. I'm sitting at my desk, minding my own business and KABOOM - the bazooka falls on my head. Of course, the people who started the snowball are nowhere to be found.

I should have signed up for a janitor position since I've been cleaning other people's shit all the time. (no offense to janitors)

Villain #2: Oh, I don't know who is worse: you or #1? Those who has power, but don't use them properly or those who have power, but abuse them absolutely. You remind me of Mr. Arafat: 'He never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity'.

So, there you have it. The two villains of my life. In my own narcissistic world, you two would be...thump thump thump...(I'm banging my fist on the table). You get the message.
