I know that when I started out as a baby P.O., I still had it in the back of my head that I could still save everyone. Not in a tree hugger hippy sort of way, but that no one was really too far gone. I had a fair concept that there were truly evil people, but I had never really met one - that I recognized as being evil.
Boy has that view of the world changed. Call me jaded if that's what label you need to place, but I think it's that I'm more realistic. I know I've seen things that people don't see and that's had an affect. When you see the worst of people for long enough, how can it not? But I've accepted the fact that some people are either incapable of change or they just don't want to change. Many of them are predators.
So I choose my battles. And I don't have the same view of what is a success. Very few big victories are achieved. Most are small ones. And I've learned to be happy with those small victories. Today was one of those days.
P.O. Doe
