i read this in a christian daily digest email:
"There are two kinds of people on earth today;
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say.
Not the sinner and saint, for it's well understood,
That the good are half-bad and the bad half-good.
Not the rich and the poor, for to rate a man's wealth,
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.
Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span,
Who puts on vain airs, is not counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears.
No, the two kinds of people on earth I mean,
Are the people who lift, and the people who lean.
Wherever you go, you will find the earth's masses,
Are always divided in just these two classes.
And oddly enough, you will find too, I ween,
There's only one lifter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing the load,
Of overtaxed lifters, who toil down the road?
Or are you a leaner, who lets others share
Your portion of labor, and worry and care?"
so which are you? which am i? i think i'm a lifter but not a leader... in other words, i think i'm the backstage person in most situations... i just can't understand some people (the leaners)... i've met many of this species in my past few projects... saddening... but well, that's life... the lifters and the leaners... like yin and yang? the element that makes us Man... imperfection!
