Why do we want to invest time and energy in people who obviously aren't interested in doing the same for us?
On those occasions I've done this, it's because I did not see the "obviously" or I really hoped they'd find the "interested."
But yeah, you're right. If you took a straw poll 'round my office, I guarantee you'd get a unanimous report that a fellow called W., who has some mild mental disability, is the nicest, sweetest, most spectacularly giving person in the office by leagues. He really is a super guy...
...but I swear, I'm really damned tired of him giving me agonizingly long reports of progress from Falcons training camp twice a day. *groannnn*!
