Growing up, my crew wasn't a
model of propriety, I know that. In fact, we almost never bowed to conventions
of society, often berated and alienated for being so. But one honourable thing
about us was that we remained an undivided entity; we had principles. Ours was
a brotherhood founded on sincerity and trust. We rode, even where the ride was
for a fall, without hesitation from anyone, because each was genuinely
regardful of the other, leading to a greater sense of faith that each will
always have the others' backs no matter what.
Today that I have grown into...
this, all I see is the politics, ruthless schemes, expediency above principles,
self above service, of professionals who can tell the difference between right
and wrong yet act like they don't, who'd make calls against their consciences
because they wouldn't want to jeopardise their personal ambitions, standing for
causes that they don't even believe in, calling each other friends when times
are good, only to fall out when things get difficult or problems crop up,
y'know, faithlessness in the people that we expect to know/do better... but,
perhaps it's normal; maybe it's just me that's not built for it.
