The Other Side of the Table

Do you know what it is like to be on the other side of the table?

When each day, we wake up and know that the responsibilities lie heavy on our shoulders?
When the nature of the things we do means having to be consciously aware of the moral and ethical obligations we bear?
Where we find our values being questioned?

Sometimes I wonder if I am in the right job...
or perhaps...how long more I can go on doing the things I do.

Sigh.
I guess the trouble now lie in the fact that the values and unsettling feelings collide.

On the other side of the table I try to:
- to be true to the things I say
- be the responsible, thinking adult even though I clamp down my instincts to react
- make tough decisions even though I end up being the villain in the picture.

It's all a matter of perspectives...which I know they will learn one day.
In the meantime...I shall hold my breath...

God...give me strength.
