wipe her hands, she was so burnt out that she just
didnt care any more but the specific wording that she
chose absolved her of all responsibility.
They were so busy, that she was forced to drop the
equipment on her feet. So busy, that she didnt have
two seconds to grab a paper towel.
Yeah, sure.
The truth is, weve all used language like this even if
only in our heads to avoid taking responsibility.
Its victim language.
Ive done it so many times if only this job wasnt so
terrible and boring, then I wouldnt have to be angry and
sullen when I got home.
If only this boss wasnt such a tool, then I wouldnt have
to watch so much television to recover from the stress.

The realization that love shouldnt be used like a crowbar gave me a lot of peace. I didnt have to change the
people who didnt act the way I thought they should. I
thought that once I had a relationship with someone, I
should instantly start applying leverage with it: but that
isnt love, and the times that Ive tried to change people,
I ended up just pushing them away.
Smashing a crowbar in someones face isnt loving
them, its just mugging them to get what you want out of
them.
Love doesnt make a good crowbar.
