It's Not My Job

Even when the shoulds and oughts all belong to someone else, we are never absolved of a duty to act in light of the presenting reality. It may be unfair. It is probably unjust. It almost always painful.
We don't step in and do what they should or ought to have done, as if we could cover or recover what is absent. We enable the negligence with such a course.
We do what is our own personal should or ought. Yes, the unchoices of others impact the context of our next choice. By honoring our own next ought, our shoulds transform into wills and wants. Radical acts of freedom in an otherwise enslaved world. Seldom vindicated but always powerful contributions to hope-drained scenario and scenario.
While others give up, run away, hide, or cover their eyes, we love again. That's our job.
