It is strange how so often those who are doing all they can to improve a situation are the ones offered up for crucifixion.
This is why a mindset that is very common of "don't stand out or do more then is expected" has taken hold of so many. They do what they can to get by, but don't want to "rock the boat" in any way as it puts them in the spotlight.
The "do just enough" mentality crushes creativity and productivity.
and potential and chances at happiness.
