after reading this
article, I've come to understand where our society is headed.
I see the larger picture.
This is all part of the inevitable we had the hard working americans that came out of the depression, they taught their kids the value of money. But, then with the deregulation of the stock market and people started getting rich quick coupled with television music stars living the glamourous life that we all wanted.
You ask yourself why not me?
We developed a different sense of what success is.
T.I. rapping about you can have what ever you like? Yeah, I wish I could say that but lets keep it real, I can only afford to get you McDonalds girl!
After consecutive crashes dot com, tech bubble, and eventually the housing bubble, we have finally come to terms that we were fed a lie and that wealth does not come easily in the real world one must work for it.
who do you think taught the average american to feel victimized? the goverment and judicial system allowing insurance pay outs they knew where outlandish claims, the government bailing out business and investors, and homeowners.
Spare the rod, Spoil the child.
This is the kind of policies that people just won't vote for because they know if they do things will get tough and they might have to sacrifice (oh no!) and take responsibility for their own actions!
In recent times i've seen many articles describing the changes in our culture today. We are finally realizing that life isn't like the movies where you go from rags to riches in 128 minutes.
I hope with this article and ones like it will bring into the american consciousness that you must work harder than you ever thought you had to to achieve your dreams. We live in a society of haters that seek to bring others down to their level when anyone tries to rise out of it.
Then are those that try to climb out, but at the first obstacle are discouraged by what seems like an impassable barrier and the crowd around them watching and waiting for you to make a mistake.
Let me tell you one thing your not perfect, but neither is anybody else.
As part of human nature we see others and we wish we could be like them why can't you just be yourself?
Who told you your not as good as somebody else?
I choose who i wanna be, what i like, what i want to do, what my favorite color is, everything. if you allow others to choose for you you'll never be happy. you'll always think why do i hate my life?
Oh right, it's because it isn't my life, i hate all this shit.
It's not easy to differentiate what you actually like and things you like because of others so they'll like you.
Me?
For years I tried to be different from everyone else, just to be different. But, I forgot that I was already different and I should have just been myself the whole time. It took me a long time and hours of self evaluation to discover what I've been suppressing for so long.
Give yourself a chance each person has a unique perspective when you see something needs to be done just do it you may think others see it too but they don't see it like you do. Don't ask around just go and do it if someone asks what your doing tell them to shut up and either help or GTFO.
Be with someone that makes you happy, do what makes you happy, it's just a different kind of normal.
Peace yall
