Show Mercy

It is so annoying. Why do they have to behave like that. They are so childish.

They surely must know that how they’re carrying on is so stupid and counterproductive. How do they expect anyone to stay in an environment like this? No wonder the company are in the mess that it’s in. It deserves the mess that it’s falling into.

“Show mercy.”

It is so aggravating. She knows she should at least get in touch with me if she is not going to make the appointment.

Yet again she has failed to do so and the time that could have been better used helping others out has now been wasted all because she does not have the decency to just communicate. She’s the one losing out at the end of the day, because she’s the one saying that she needs the help; and it’s clear that she definitely needs the help. If she keeps messing about like this, though, she can forget about it.

“Show mercy.”

Why? Why should I show mercy? I didn’t ask these people to be like this? It’s not my fault that they are this way and ruining their lives. Why should I get caught up with their mess and miss out myself? I’ve got better things to do with my time and others could benefit from it. It’s causing me grief and raising stress levels, there’s no good reason why I should persist in this situation. Why should I show mercy?

“Mercy has been shown to you. Mercy shown to them might help them out. More importantly mercy shown to them helps you out by showing who you are … if that’s who you are.”
