Rant
My auntie has a saying... Cheats never prosper.
In itself, probably a wise old adage except that she will keep shouting it at the opposing team during rugby matches, which makes me cringe with embarassment. (Why that would make me cringe more than if she mouthed off a torrent of foul abuse, only a first class psychiatrist could venture.)
But it makes me wonder about the nature of prosperity and the people who do - prosper that is.
I was recently told that two people who, in not just my opinion, are ineffectual; self-serving; self-promoting no-marks have been rewarded for their prowess. I suppose it's possible I'm just jealous and mean-minded, maybe I am. But the fact remains these two have done very little to deserve a commendation.
It makes me wonder whether the effort and dedication one puts in is really worth it.
Now I really am being mean-minded.
