When You Get It, You Don't Want It
This week has been kind of topsy turvy, with everyone's eyes on the July Effect. The anticipation, the euphoria and the apathy thereafter was amazingly swift.
The wait was certainly excruciating. The briefing prior to the release didn't help.
Then the call came. When you got it, you felt numb and euphoric at the same time. You felt incredibly thankful and unsure of what exactly to do with it.
Then everything started crashing to the floor two days thereafter - when you know who got it and who didn't - and you started to ask why and how. The thankfulness and joy suddenly evaporated. The responsibilities and uncertainty started weighing in. You began to ask - what if I didn't get it...
When you don't have it, you yearn for it
When you get it, you don't want it
The paradox of a modern salaried worker...
One of the many scrambling rats in a race...
how wretched you are!
