Although I try to keep in touch with my friends, sometimes things just get in the way, and I don’t end up talking to my friends for years; One of my friends, the last time I had talked to him, he was planning on becoming a lawyer! Something I fully believed he would be good at, since he believes in faith and justice, but a few years down the line, my friend and I end up talking again, and when I asked how being a lawyer is, that is when he dropped the news that he entirely is a cooling worker now… I was shocked! I thought for sure he would become a lawyer, and even if he didn’t, I never would have guess an air conditioning specialist; He usually strives for more complicated jobs, and so to settle for something so simple was surprising.
I asked him why he quit being a lawyer, and he told me because of some of the cases he saw, and how the system is corrupt.
He lost faith in humanity after a while, and didn’t want to deal with it anymore. I felt terrible for him, especially since I knew he would be a superb lawyer and my friend and I need more of those. Then I asked why he chose to be a HVAC professional. He told me because he was exhausted of dealing with the complexities of life, he just wanted something simple that he could focus on, and not worry anymore. I kind of understood, but I was still surprised.
