I can be empathetic and not sympathetic. It must really suck to feel so powerless that your life’s work is bullshit, but you feel too weak and scared to do anything. But maybe they should self-reflect a bit and realize this is the one shot they got and walk away from paper pushing and do what they are really called for. I hope they figure it out, because it’s gonna suck when they get to the end and realize they wasted most of their lives.
