good intentions

So, I'm in a role on my project where the hours are long, and it's been really hard on me. My roommates and friends observe my hours and encourage me to just go to bed or just take a break or stop working so hard.

While I understand and respect their intentions, and while I never want to be in this position again, it doesn't show an understanding of the need to fulfill commitments we've made.

But it also got me thinking, there are many times in life where we say something that is very well-intentioned, but don't communicate sympathy or empathy.

Suck it up.

Just pray about it.

I'll pray for you.
