Do You Eat The Crust?

There are only a few types of people in the world when it comes to dealing with problems. I'd like to think that the majority of them are good, caring people, who generally don't want to do harm to others, but their intentions have little to do with how they deal with issues. I've learned to generalize these types by comparing them to the Crusty ends of a loaf of bread. That piece of bread that is completely covered by crust on one side symbolically stands for that which we like to avoid.

There are people that avoid the Crust. They dig down to the next slice of bread, avoiding it all together. These are the kind of people who like to avoid problems, sometimes pretending they don't exist. The person who walks away after dropping the Mayo jar in the aisle of the grocery store. These are sometimes angry people, who lash out when questioned.

There are people that seek out the Crust. They'll take it so that others don't have to worry about it. These are the mother types who filter the bad from a child's eye, or a guy who runs into a flaming building to save a puppy. Hero types, do-gooders.

There are people that just take whatever is in front of them, crust or not. These are the apathetic. They don't avoid issues, but don't seek them out either. People who go to work every day, pay their bills on time, clean up after themselves, but don't necessarily work their hardest, make extra payments, or scrub the toilet.

Then there are the people who eat the crust if that's all is left. The problem with these people is they avoid issues until they can't be avoided anymore, then they are stuck with two crusts for their sandwich.
