Re: 2 misconceptions
Harper, I am not the OP here but will respond with my thoughts.
With all due respect for the man we are speaking of since I am not the man nor can I speak for him nor would I wish to judge.
Just my thoughts perhaps if it were me in a situation like this I would hopefully have resigned but should I stay out of necessity or to help in a bad case scenario I would have felt some guilt by working at the camp, and repaid in kind by offering some relief to the man hoping to help at least one life, the recipient very grateful probably should have taken into consideration the age and health of the giver it could be dementia or alzheimer's or simply I wished not to be reminded of a past I did not like. I rarely find a person who truly hates someone helping them out love\hate relationship possibly.
Right thing to do is all I can say, doing the right thing in what I felt was a bad situation for the man and myself IMHO.
While I have helped people all throughout my life with many returning or calling to say thank you it really was not a necessary thing to do, it was freely given, no strings attached which include's a thank you. While I acknowledge the thank you the best thing IMO could have been to see that it made a difference for them in their lives this IMO is the best thank you and what I enjoy hearing. No guilt here with me just a concern for that individual at that particular point in time.
Love & Peace
Trish
