ch is quite fed up with the kinsmen. for the last 2 or three weeks he has talked endlessly about quitting. he is currently serving his term as prez till the end of june, and he is so tired of the do-nothing attitudes that some of the members have, and is so sick of it that he is wanting to walk away from the club and do something else entirely.
i'm shocked because he has always loved working with the kinsmen and has made it a big part of his life. there were times when projects he was running took over our lives and livingrooms. i've even helped him out in certain tasks, but reluctantly, seeing as it's me dedicating my time so that some of the other non-doers can continue to do nothing. i feel as if i dont owe any of them anything.
and yeah, i've had fun doing some of that stuff, but really i'm not a member of the club. i can see ch's frustration with it and i cant blame him for wanting to leave. last night i tried convincing him that if he quits without saying his peace, he's giving the do-nothings exactly what they want. i told ch to think of who loses if he quits...the answer being the community. no, ch doesnt single handedly run projects and he isnt solely responsible for the successes or failures, but if more guys who want to do things leave because of lazy members, then who will be left to benefit the community? see? the community loses when guys who are doers leave. and i told ch last night that the lazy ones shouldnt benefit by him leaving...he should force those guys out and think of the bigger picture...our city.
just before i went to bed, ch was so worked up and determined to quit in june...he figures he will invest his time somewhere else instead. it's sad that he has to quit in order to be happy.
