On The Difficulty of Bravery

 

Difficult is an apt word. Not too
high, but still Wall Street-ish.

What do I do when I think
a colleague right, or at least
probably right or just has a
point or two, do I defend him
in meetings? Does taking a bit of
his side even amount to treason
against those that accuse him?

Let me be less prosaic and say
this: a career is worth a soul
sold to Satan on a Sunday. It’s
the oil to our very manliness,
like the lubricating words from
poster Dylans that give our day
soul, more aptly rock, e’en as
        we suck and roll.

Difficult is the exact word. Like
living those big contradictions.
