Care Package

The social worker came to see us at Eric's bedside and talked to us about putting a care package together. Eric had his eyes open much of the time but didn't seem to be taking any of it in. 

Weak People

Weak people: God, they're annoying. People who just lie there and take it. Who expect others to make all the tough decisions, to fuss over them and smooth their path.  Who won't accept any responsibility or do anything to help themselves. Who habitually take the low road and then bleat when it leads them down into a bog. People who sulk. People who go, "Why me?"

You want to kick them. You want to tell them to get a grip, to stop being such babies.  But you can't because it's unkind to pick on the weak. You might make them cry. 

Weak people: they have so much bloody power.
