~~~ One of the best things we can do for ourselves and others is to say no to taking on a job, project, or a task that would be fatiguing to us, whether it's directly due to having enough work to tend to (paid or not), it'd hurt our passions, or it'd harm our health (mental and physical health are connected). Saying no (politely but firmly) may upset some individuals but saying yes to what would be burdensome (not merely a challenge or inconvenient) to us would certainly cause us to burn out, thus harming the people who sought our labour, our other work, others who would be served through our service, and our personal relationships. No amount of money, nor kindness from any workmates and bosses, will make work that's inherently fatiguing to us less fatiguing, and though an accompanying healthy salary will provide material essentials, and perhaps even luxuries, one's soul will starve while disadvantaging others'. However, saying no opens up the door to other individuals who are a good fit for what was asked of us, while it allows us to pursue work opportunities that would be mutually beneficial between us, any teammates, and the individuals we serve.

𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: "Literary travellers who traverse 𝑪𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒙, live a journey whose heart radiates with ambition, its pages naked with pus filled fractures."
𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: "𝑪𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒙 is an empathic odyssey whose every story bears my passion, woven in their DNA. This book of interlaced short tales is also recieving overall acclaim despite its faults, a testament to its power of transcending even its greatest flaws. Furthermore, not even the most eminent artists' creations are synonymous with perfection as the critic who is most aware of a composition or performance's perceived fractures is often its creator, whose inspired art is born from an immense endeavor and love; whose sight is occasionally lost from their creation's reflection of their own wonderful soul." ~~~ One of the reasons that I love experiencing tragedy in films is because I am bound to fail in holding back at least a runaway tear as my heart aches so thoroughly for whomever is suffering; When they cry then pretty much all bets are off, especially when emotive music accompanies the scene/s.
Thus, those moments remind me that I do have deep empathy indeed. But at the same time, I become so self-conscious upon others seeing me cry during movies (happens so frequently) that I feel more exposed than if my clothes had suddenly abandoned me. |
