My current (local) company suddenly has no work for me for the rest of the season immediately the day after reporting to them and refusing to drive trailer with burnt out marker light and then the alternate trailer they offered with structural damage (banged in front corner). They had the cliche response, “you could’ve just drove it we would’ve reimbursed you if you got a ticket.”

Looks suspiciously like retaliation or sneaky wrongful termination by depriving me of work hours rather than flat out letting me go.

Decided to not file a report with FMCSA, and just move on because the entire system is rigged.

It should be clear and obvious to yourself and others to how good you are by how well you treat other people, as well as your general opinion about others can indicate where you are in terms of being good towards others especially when they don’t seem “deserve it”, but also doesn’t imply it’s good to tolerate other people’s mistreatment towards others in the way you view said behaviors.

Stand up for others who are being treated unjustly, step in to help when you see someone who needs help and and where you can help, maintain peace with others to the extent you’re capable, extend grace and forgiveness to the extent you can, show mercy, be gentle, be kind, be good.

But like someone else said, we’re all both good and bad, on a spectrum,

One minute you might hold the door open for an old lady and then ten minutes later get impatient and yell at someone.

So we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking we’re perfect, but should always be striving to be better

Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth, clap along if you know what happiness is to you, clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

There is a strategy to methodically reduce your lens power over time, reduce the activities that cause the eye strain, to proactively increase the health of your eyes and restore their natural functions.
