Polish This

"When you polish a turd all you end up with is shiny shit."
The Chemical Buddha noticed people invested lots of their time following bad ideas/relationships/situations. And that the results usually ended up where they were going to go anyway. People just seemed to want to draw out the pain and suffering. Personally, he preferred to cut his losses before anything went bad. His detached, uninterested perspective meant people invested a lot of their time and energy trying to get him to like them. Which should serve as a reminder that, when given the choice, it's always better to be the turd than the turd polisher.
Does overworking an already bad situation make it better or worse?
What in your life do you spend way too much time trying to fix when you might be better off just letting go?
