"Caring"

by Jeph Johnson

 

There is one faction of people who say:

"If you stop caring, you're jaded."

 

There is another who say:

"If you care too much, it'll ruin you."

 

I think you should care as much or as little as you feel,

and leave the judgments about it to all of the judgmental people.

 

Then, as they judge you,

they will wonder

whether or not

their judgments

 

are too harsh

or

not harsh enough.

 

It is a fun game I like to play with the world.
