Life, the Obstacle Course

The Trash Dump…

And no, we’re still NOT having a “field trip” today, “children”!!!

We had arrived here, to the trash dump, and, look around, you see, nothing, not even, a SPECK of dust around, so, how, can this be a trash dump? Oh, wait, didn’t I tell you, we’re, meeting someone today?

The trash dump, the go-to-person, someone you feel the safest, who will, accept every single NEGATIVE emotion that had already been, building up inside of you, waiting, to explode, and not take your angers personally, where, can we find one such person like that? Oh wait, we can’t! Because NOBODY has the reason, the need, to put up with you, so, why does s/he? Because s/he knows, that you’re in need, of a listener, someone to pour your hearts out to, and, s/he is willing, to be that person for you. And, you should be thankful, for just one of these sorts of person that you have around you in life.

imagine all of this, but none of the physical garbage, but instead, filled up with the emotional trash…not my photo

The trash dump, this, is a very BAD job, and, what, does it pay again??? Oh yeah, DIDDILY SQUAT! And sometimes, as the trash dump, you’d become, the target of the person’s anger, because it’s easier, to scapegoat on an easy target, and, it may make you wonder: why am I doing this again? Then, you remind yourselves: I am just lending an ear, to my friend’s troubles, and that, is how you can act, as a good friend!
