Lack of support

There are all kinds of support. There are structural supports. There are emotional supports. There is child support. There is athletic support. There are way too many types of support to list here. Then there is community support. Now I define community support like this. We live in a giant group, there are people with several different roles. Each roll needs to be able to provide some type of support for the surrounding rolls. Otherwise we couldn't function as a giant colony. Kinda like a bra when the underwire snaps. Things get uncomfortable and binding.

So I have a hard time trying to figure out people who won't support anything.

And the definintion of support, just in case anyone forgot along the way...

I look around me, and all I see are people who pay lip-service to the word above. They are willing to put their name behind something or someone as long as it fits in their grand plans.
