There is value in staying in touch with ones initial, unadulterated, "childish" feelings. The ones you had when you started off on any project. It makes you appear inexperienced and immature. But that is also what leaves you "pure" (in intent) and connected.

With any work we take on, with experience, we learn so much more that disconnects us from the original goals and the feelings that initiated the projects.

I am seeing a lot of cynicism in certain areas of my life, and really, it is the conflict of egos. Everyone really does, in this case I do trust, wants to do the right thing. But need for adequate recognition and perception of lack of control get in the way of the initial motivations that brought them together.

It is very common for people in any sort of service industries to grow cynical. There is a limit to how much one can give, even if they choose to give. Even if they are being paid to give. Giving can get emotionally taxing, and no amount of monetary value can really reset a person back to newness. Nothing but desire on the part of the individual and real, true appreciation can potentially bring it back. The primary motivation for anyone in service industry is to give, and so it has to be nourished.

Aside: Anyone in the business of giving probably learns that resetting ones self over and over is the way to survive, while gaining wisdom from those experiences.
