I live in a constant state of contradictions…. obsessing about the black and white while being slapped with the grays. I don’t have any children and can’t say I’m particularly fond of them yet I run a foundation that helps children. I run over tourists in the street but am profoundly affected by the plight of mankind. I believe in an eye for an eye but can argue the mitigating circumstances of any death row inmate. I will hog the blanket but will give you the shirt off my back.
I often consider how odd it is that I’m in non-profit considering all early indications pointed to a stellar career in the for profit world. Often friends and family joke about my one “feeling” or lack there of. Certainly most of them would be shocked to learn of the true nature of my bleeding heart considering my lip is usually curled in disgust over some demonstration of mankind’s inadequacies. I am impatient with too many words and not enough action.
I am an average woman: not exceptionally intelligent, pretty, wealthy, poor, influential, tall or short who is trying to do good things and trying to help and influence others to do the same. If everyone can do one good thing each day no matter how small … well there would be an awful lot of good things happening right? Who doesn’t want that?
