The Cruellest Joke

<p>What happens when society pushes a man too far?</p><p><br></p><p>Bill had worked hard his whole life. He was proud of what he had accomplished. He was proud of where he was in life. Society disagreed. </p><p><br></p><p>Bill wanted nothing more than to live his life in peace. Unfortunately for him society never stopped twisting the cruel dagger of fate into his wounded chest. </p><p><br></p><p>At work Bill constantly strove to achieve his absolute best. Nobody was perfect but one should strive for it nonetheless. However everybody else misinterpreted this noble pursuit as a nuisance. </p><p><br></p><p>At leisure Bill just could not rekindle the happiness he experienced in his younger years. Instead life was like a colourless painting of a graveyard. The graveyard of his hopes and dreams. </p><p><br></p><p>No matter what he did Bill was left feeling worse than when he started. Each time society provoked him he felt his fuse get shorter... and shorter. </p><p><br></p><p>Society kept pushing and pushing and pushing... It did not care it did not take responsibility. Just how far was society going to keep pushing? Was there a limit to how bad things could get?</p><p><br></p><p>There was no hope. The light at the end of the tunnel was merely an incoming train. Such was life. The Cruellest Joke.</p>
