Disclaimer: This post is written in a last ditched attempt to save my sanity. I am not usually so cynical.

This last week has been an absolute struggle. I have flapped my hands and feet in every possible way and yet got no results worth discussing. People say, dont re-invent the wheel, dont re-invent the wheel. Fine, I will not re-invent it. But if no one is willing to lend me a wheel, how can I build anything that needs a wheel? I have to invent my own wheel.

Forget about putting in the work to invent the wheel, people will deny you even the information regarding how to go about making a wheel, let alone lend you their own wheel. When asked for help, I usually help with open arms and I sincerely expect nothing great in return except maybe some timely help, some time in future. But often times, I am disappointed.

Maybe its not that they are not trying to help, but that they dont care enough to think enough and try to chalk out some way in which the other person would get something out of the effort.

I know, I know, none of us are here for charity. I dont wish to get all philosophical and say that helping out one another is something that we ought to do. Peace.
