Does Human Conscience Still Exist? Being stuck in a rut is something most people can relate to, whether it be in work #life or romance. Most of us still like to have faith in our fellow human beings, although in most cases my faith is quickly diminishing! Being offered that vital olive branch, when there seems no other option is a simple decision, right? Throw in the fact that the olive branch is offered by a close friend, it's a no brainer! Still with me? But what happens when that persons actions have a huge affect on your personal, home and health welfare? Still such a good friend? Working with friends or family has always been notoriously difficult, I found this the hard way! I was working in a job I hated, not great pay, and not fab people to work for, I knew I wanted to leave, but having the opportunity to, proved more difficult, until my friend approached me with an offer too good really to be true - I later found that it was! We worked great together, i was self employed, working alongside her, things were brilliant, until I couldn't cover her one day, that's when the tides turned on me. From then on my #life was made hell, I couldn't have holiday, wasn't allowed time off, things went missing, and was totally ignored everyday. Things were impossible, I was stuck in the proverbial rut. In to high a position to quit and go elsewhere as I couldn't afford a pay cut! This was a friend that I had confided in, trusted, thought wouldn't let me down, when all that had happened was her using me for her own personal gain! The moral of the story?? There's no such thing as a good Samaritan - people have no conscience, its all about what you can do for them, and when the time comes where you're no longer useful, where does that leave you, stuck. No longer do we stick together and look out for each other, we back stab, we turn like a pack of wolves! My advice.... Don't ever trust that someone has your best interests at heart, unless they stand to gain, they're not interested!
