The Easy Way Out..?


Simple. Easy. A piece of cake. That was nothing. Is that it? I sooo got this.

All statements given to things in life that require little to no effort. Also given to the extremely difficult things we come across though stated with much sarcasm. This rant has to do with the both.
Someone taking the easy way out of a situation is considered a cop-out if the moment is intense. Why is this? To you it may be seen as the easy way. The option avoided being the tougher, maybe right choice. This again, is based on what one person views is the correct path for your decisions.
Why does it have to be this way though? I do not advocate one leaving children behind, however do not agree with calling this an easy decision. Nor looking down on the ones who have to live with this decision.. I can only imagine how difficult this has to be to decide. Having to accept that your own children are better off, in your eyes, with another set of parents. Agreeing you are not now in a position to have, nor care for children.
Some would say those people have chosen to take the easy way out. Looking at in that manner, was it really the easy decision? Having to deal with not only your own personal bashing, but the statements and opinions of everyone around you. In the face of that, there is no easy choice to the decision maker. Only to those who have an opinion to place..
Now, say the case is of someone and their job. Explained: If your boss comes to you asking of you to finish his newest project. You do so, not to the standards of what you would like to see done, rather to his own. Knowing that the project would be much better going your way. Some would say he/she took the easy way out by making that decision. Here are the sides..
Do only what the boss asked, or deliver something up to your potential and risk your hard work being trashed. Laughed at. Not wanted. Fear it may be, but which is easier? To be who you want to be, or who everyone is okay with you being? Again, neither is easy to the decision maker. Only where an outside opinion is placed.
Some would say it is easy to stay quiet. Harder to speak up. The opposite end would say it is hard to be quiet, easy to speak up. Again, depending on who you are, rather, what opinion you are making.
All I am saying is this.. Before you go proclaiming to others how “person a” is taking the easy way out, maybe actually look at and think of their situation, from their side. Basically, stop taking the easy way out.
