A story

In class some interesting stories from told by my classmates about their past. We were asked after everyone had shared to find the messages in each of the stories. Some of the stories held messages about making decisions under the influence of alcohol, and others held some more somber truths. One classmate shared a story about his janitorial work in the past, and about how a fellow worker instead of him had to clean up some sort of rancid mess in a restroom stall. The message was difficult for me to find, but the student who told the story seemed very regretful of his actions in the story so I knew he at least was conveying some sort of message. The only message I was able to come up with was that sometimes the universe makes you do gross things, and sometimes it lets you off and someone else has to do it. In the end the task must be completed but one conscious-mind will not always be forced to do the undesirable tasks. It is a positive message when taken in the first person, but in when taken in the third person it is not so positive. It reminds you that life will not always be a breeze, and one day something will happen that bursts your bubble of happiness. I'm sure in the mind of the man who had to clean up the mess he was having some very interesting thoughts. Perhaps he thought about why he had his current job, and whether he was happy with his life. Maybe being forced to do something completely disgusting forced him to recall his childhood dreams and the event finally pushed him over the edge, inspiring him to start living his life for himself again. It could have also thrown him into some sort of depressed spiral, which is what my classmate fear, but if that was the case the man had some other psychological issues that may have been more a cause.
Perspective of events involving multiple people is a very interesting topic to talk about, it is sad however how some people can totally disregardful the others and assume that their perspective is the only one that matters.
