Aggravated. Want to focus. Be topical. Tell a story. Relate what's transpired in this weirdness that's allegedly my "life"... existence... sentence... ?
"?"
Exactly.
"!"
Events of late have caused me to wonder, as I have several times in the past, what's the definitive line that brands one as a "sell-out"? Is there really one at all? And what's the difference between a sell-out and a traitor? All these subjective shades of gray leave me feeling nauseous.
I'm recovering from two separate episodes of such ethical nausea. The first one came by the way of someone I genuinely liked, and considered a friend. A couple of days ago I discovered that Joe Tamargo (livingadspace.com founder) tried to capitalize on my search engine standings.
WTF?!?
To Joe: Checkmate, dude. GAME OVER
The second wave kicked me in the gut yesterday morning. It deals with professional ethics and doctor-patient trust. No names mentioned. Even though I'm pissed off enough to inflict some serious damage, and I'd be quite justified in doing so, I will not. It's a little spiritual "karma thing" by which I'm bound which many refer to as the Three-Fold Law. Instead, I'll do what I was taught to do when dealing with these kinds of deep-seated resentments... I'll pray. My HP does set everything to rights when all is said and done. The resolution to any given situation may not be remotely close to how I would've sought personal satisfaction, but justice does get served. Eventually. ;oD
