based on a l'esprit de l'escalier story: conviction
it really annoys me when people have zero or repeatedly no conviction, or always overturn what they say they are going to do. from: oh, i’ll go for a run, i want to lose some weight, to, i want to stop smoking, to, i’ll give you a lift - 15 minutes, 15 hours, a couple of days down the line and suddenly it no longer matters.
it’s the same with new year’s resolutions. i simply do not understand that concept. if you truly wanted to change something about yourself, you wouldn’t need a cop-out excuse to motivate you - the motivation would already be inside you.
that is purely a personal thing, and at least you can have jurisdiction over your own actions. but when people ‘commit’ to something that affects someone else, like a promise, or an enabling move, the amount of times people renege on things makes me almost vitriolic. of course, mitigating circumstances can always come into play, but you always know the sort of people whose offers you cannot rely upon.
you would think that if you make an offer to someone that they would then depend upon, that you then have a moral obligation to fulfil it. otherwise, who the hell are you kidding in taking out such a thing in the first place?
i guess it’s my own fault for having such a suffocating moral code, but why can’t people police their own selfish ways properly? it’s no wonder i’m surprised when i come across genuine people these days.
