The work I do actually helps people, and I believe in it. But the public looks at us like we're the enemy, or a joke. Day after day I try to do good quietly inside a system nobody trusts. Caring this much while being treated with that much contempt gets lonely.
More people experience this than they realize.
You do real good inside a system the public holds in contempt, and it's isolating.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
