...

forgive the title. its a little broad. but i think its apt. don't worry this entry will not take long to read...not that im really worried about what you think.

plenty has happened in this whalefarmers' life since his last post in october. i won't go into detail as the sensitive nature of the material could invalidate the reputations of certain persons. but, i'll just mention a few things here and there.

so, i have a new job. and i love it. for the first time in a long time, i find myself happy -actually happy- to go to work. the thrill of being able to help a person both physically and mentally is exciting. the outcome rewarding. i smile all day. once again i am inspired and at the same time encumbered also by a burden. i read articles of the atrocities taking place in darfur - get itchy. i must go there. but i reckon finishing my specialist examinations first would be a good idea - i'll be in better stead then. my dream of starting up a mental health service in central and west africa remains. the mentally afflicted are treated like animals, thrown out onto the streets - beaten , scolded, scalded, humiliated, killed. i hurt. you should too. i fear this goal given me tunnel vision. i have no time for wasting time. consequently people get hurt. i sometimes wonder if im being narcissistic or economical.
