PALEFACE:
You bring up an unfortunate point regarding the culture of TLW when you stated, ‘Too bad those resources couldn’t have been spent on someone in real need.’
Expendable worker-ants have been a paradigm in every culture and religion built on a stratified hierarchy from time immemorial. One would have thought that ‘LOVE GOD/LOVE your Brother’ might have begun to deconstruct that mindset rather than reinforce it, but when one was on a team that was attempting to move the ball far down the field, the injured simply had to sit it out on the sidelines while the rest pushed for the finish line.
I am sure everyone knows of someone, who after years of dedicated service, were simply cast aside after their usefulness was expended, only to be replaced by newer blood. Disappearing into the woodwork was an unfortunate conclusion for those not in the spotlight. In the end, it will be the unsung heroes who carried the day who will actually carry the day.
