The cleaner who couldn't mop the rain





Rules say you shouldn't work while being sick. "For the greater good", they say. You're expected to be respectful and to protect everyone's health by doing that. 

But I feel sick more than half of the time. I've been working sick for all my working years. This was expected from me as well. So I can no longer tell the difference between being a little sick and having a "bad attitude". I can try my best but in truth I'm sick of it all. Everything. Every second I'm not living for myself and do what I can to enjoy my life or, at the very least, make this a better place makes me sick and resentful enough to grow a cancer that could kill an entire generation. That's why I'm not afraid of dying. Nor I feel sorry for anyone dying. I'm not eager too. Sometimes I feel this disease is doing everyone a favor. 

But don't ask me to choose homelessness for everyone's sake. Don't expect people who have been working sick for all their lives to be now considerate and do one more sacrifice for the greater good. We're too tired to care. You sure never did. Now we're just too sick to give a shit.
