The Strong Get Nothing But Grief

I See You

Why Don't 'Normal' People Get Any Praise?
Just because someone doesn't fall victim to vices does not mean that they do not have struggles themselves.  It just means they have a stronger mental, emotional and physical fortitude than those who do fall prey to such vices.  People in the work place are being praised for sobriety and oftentimes blaming lack of performance on their inability to handle stress thus falling to hard drugs or depression.  Fuck that.  They use their lack of fortitude as a weapon of pity.  The man/woman who keeps on keeping on, without showing any signs of weakness often gets the short end of the stick.  It becomes a competition of who has the most 'mental illnesses'.  Don't tell so and so they're under-performing!  They might relapse!  Don't be too tough on so and so!  You might cause them to kill themselves!  Go ahead, do it.  I won't lose any sleep over it.  If it's in God's will right?


The Strong Get Nothing but Grief
They haven't caught the 'disease' of addiction or depression.  Disease my ass.  You are a culmination of your decisions and actions.  The strong and silent never get jack shit except grief.  You're treated like a punching bag because people know you'll take it without falling back on the pitiful excuse of relapse/depression/suicide.  It's even more bullshit when you're in a country as great as the United States of America.  You want to know about depression?  Why don't you go visit the depressive landscape of North Korea?  Why don't you go visit the famine areas of Africa?  Then you will see what depression REALLY means.  You want to know about anxiety?  Why don't you go visit the war-torn front-lines of Ukraine, where you don't know when a munition will drop on your head.  Oh what's wrong?  You have running water, food and shelter.  Better do heroin and act like a victim!  Oh my God, you are so brave!  Fuck you.  Fuck you and everyone who enables you to act like a victim.  You made decisions and now the chickens are coming home to roost.


I See You
For those strong people who suffer in silence and do not fall victim to vices.  This blog is for you.  I see you.  I admire you.  I am proud of you for being the perfect specimen of tenacity.  Push back against the drug addicts, the alcoholics, the anxious and the depressed.  Do not fall for their victim hood and keep on being strong.  Fuck them.  They'll cull themselves soon enough......

Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? : The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car

  Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car By Adam Mundorf Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? This blog will be mostly my inner monologue with some questions along the way, just for a warning.  I'm putting my thoughts down and through that process to find some 'a-ha' moments.  It's self exploration. I get asked often about why I'm comfortable where I am in life because my chosen profession isn't what most people would want.  I'm not an exactly ambitious individual but am content with my own lot in life.  People respond typically with an almost pity and that perplexes me.  Maybe it's because I have such simple wants and desires.  I value the inexpensive/simple pleasures in life.  I value peace and quiet, a comfortable bed, cute animals and running water.  I for sure get if you burdened your life with obligations i.e, family, huge debts and/or some idealistic dream of being fabulously wealt...

Company Parties : Walk Beside Me not Behind Me : The 'Christian' CEO's

  Company Parties Walk Beside Me not Behind Me The 'Christian' CEO's By Adam Mundorf 'True leading is sacrifice, not privilege.' Company Parties What a kick in the face company parties are.  No money for raises but money for lavish and extravagant parties?  Cutting hours but have money for banquets?  Seems a bit hypocritical doesn't it?  A rising tide raises all ships and all these silly parties do is drain the ocean.  Lets be honest, most people want the cash because we have bills and actual expenses that aren't solved with a pizza party or catered dinner.  We have goals and aspirations where an extra 20 bucks can provide dividends into the future.  Skip the party and distribute the cash.  Your employees will love that more than any party you could throw.  Quite frankly, it's insulting that a company could even throw a party while simultaneously cutting hours.  What a kick in the nuts.   Walk Beside Me not Behind Me A big...

What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course : Three Largest Lessons

  What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Three Largest Lessons By Adam Mundorf What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Recently, the company I work for decided to host a Dale Carnegie Course for all of its managers and leadership team.  Dale Carnegie is a course meant to enhance leadership qualities while giving you thought provoking scenarios and lessons to use in the real world.  I had a really good time, it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and taught me three valuable lessons (there are more but I want to limit this blog to the three biggest lessons I learned).  Here they are : Lesson #1 - Adam 'Pause' Mundorf - Avoiding the Stutter Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I've had somewhat of a stutter since a young age.  I'm not talking like King George the Sixth but it's there.  It gave me grief as a childhood but as I got older, it got funnier because I knew it wasn't a disability but my brain moving entirely too fast for my mouth....
