whew, tough crowd here - says anyone who ever "makes an adjustment" in life is labeled a quitter. but there are a few points to be made here -
1) he sees it as a negative situation
2) his absense would not hurt the group (team) - as they are not depending on him
3) and, there are other positive things he could devote his time to
I could back fulfilling a commitment to others who are depending on you, but it's "sick" to think that hanging on in negative situatuions which are optional is a preferred way to build character??
hitting the books, a part-time job and some time on a hobby, would far surpass what some here suggest
lefties? - - - they just aint right!
