HA: Why quit ??


I was asked
"Lieh il wa7ed ye-quit fe west il sho3'l"
And to answer that I thought I’d state as many reasons as possible for why anyone would quit in the middle of doing something and I was gonna say something like this;

"You may find that the work is hard, and not paying off, or that no one's appreciating the effort you're putting into all this or maybe you are facing family issues, or had a medical condition that would prevent you from doing what you're doing. Maybe a mental condition like a nervous breakdown may stop you or maybe this job is time consuming or you don't have the time to do it, maybe your colleagues are douchbags or maybe you were presented with a better offer to occupy your time with something else," and then I would end it with "or you just WANT to quit".
But ironically I was faced with this choice, and more ironically all those previous reasons were present in my case, in addition to all that I seriously hated my job, but once I found another opportunity it was hard not to accept it, BUT I said give me time so that I can give the people a heads up, so that they'd prepare themselves for my departure.

You see when I started this post I thought it would end up with just some external or internal reasons for why and when to quit the task you're doing, but sometimes all the reasons are present and you still continue to work anyway, and sometimes none of the mentioned or unmentioned reasons are there and you'd still quit without a second thought, in other words, IT IS in your hand to quit with or without reasons, and people WILL adapt to your choice anyway, so it's you who decides to show kindness to the people who asked you to do the first task or job in the first place, cause actually depending on what type of person you are, it'll decide when and how you will quit.

In other words the question was asked incorrectly, it shouldn't have been WHY'd you quit, when it should have been HOW do you quit.
