dispensable

i guess sometimes you do need to learn to protect yourself. especially because the people on top of you don't necessarily give a damn about you. they put you in awkward situations and wash their hands off you, expecting you to save yourself. which is always disappointing. actually i do feel that they are obliged not to do something like that to you, to protect you. after all, you are working for them. unfortunately, they either don't think they are obliged to, or they say that they are forced by circumstances.

well, if you really want it, you will go all out to make it happen. they don't want it enough, let's not kid ourselves. you are just another replaceable person on their payroll. if you die, they can easily replace you. that's the way it is. so much for all their talk on what, every individual counts?

that's why i think people should not be replaceable. yes, it is good to have options, so that you can change things around, inject some new energy. but ultimately, every person should have an almost unique function in a team.

would i want two fabregas in my team? the answer is a no. why would i want two? i just need one. i would play someone else who can do different things beside him. this is partly because you can only put 11 players in. moreover, if you have two fabregas, they will know that they are not indispensable. the first one doesn't have to play every week, nor does he have to play 100% every game, because the other fabregas is ready to take over him. the team does not need him as much as they should, so he doesn't feel the need to perform every game, because this simply reflects his diminished importance to the team.

everybody needs to feel wanted.
everybody needs to feel important.
everybody needs love.
