I am a business owner in a small community in the Colorado mountains. I have been an Anon from the first post on 1/2 chan. I always felt like I was targeted that day. I am an original Goat if that makes any sense.
Here is my dilemma...
The people of my county have apparently decided they want me to be a County Commissioner. I'm rough around the edges and prefer solitude. I also have the complication of being the guy that found the Fenn treasure. That will bring unwanted public exposure. I am shy and have no need for money. I would rather spend my time fishing and wandering around the desert than get into politics.
My dilemma is that I feel like If I am needed to help my community I am duty bound. These people might even vote me in weather I want the job or not.
I know it's a strange post... What should I do? I don't even want a job but I will do the job.
The people obviously see something in you that you do not. So look for that.
If it doesn’t exist, then don’t take the job, because they have made a mistake about you.
If it does exist, then imagine whether it would make you happy serving the people in a role they want you to fill.
You like your solitude, but perhaps you could also like serving a community that apparently admires you. If not, don’t take it, but it’s worth considering whether or not there are different ways to be happy.
