Here’s what happened.
We got older, and people decided that it was “easier” to give up on their dreams and ideals and assume that being mediocre with their lives was a standard thing.
So, they (reluctantly, at first) accepted it. It sounded like:
Oh, I work this 9 to 5 job. That’s just what it is.
Oh yeah, I play some community basketball on the weekend, it’s pretty good. You know, I don’t go often, but it keeps me in shape enough.
Oh yeah, you know my work’s okay. We get a few weeks vacation. Life is alright.
What ever happened to your fucking dreams? What ever happened to the fact that you wanted to be the best at something? You literally just fucking gave up!
You graduated from school. Walked out the door. Took a couple years to find out that Mommy, or school wasn’t going to hold your hand and decided, “Oh this wasn’t what I expected” and then gave up on your dreams. That, and chances are Mommy gave you so much more than you think and you don’t even know.
And when you did that you also accepted the status quo. You accepted “the standard” and gave up on your beliefs as a child, your dreams and your values.
What?
You mean to tell me that those dreams, of you being an adventurer. Of you doing actually something cool went out the fucking window? And that you were wrong for feeling that way?
Do you mean to say that those years of dreaming up, and thinking you could do something better were all a fallacy? That all of those people who are younger than you, who are thinking the EXACT same thing right now, are wrong? What… That they’re all just naive?
No, YOU just accepted the easy way out accepted living a lie, because you never had the balls, or the guts, to make it through in the first place.
Now, just because you accept that living a mediocre life is “fine”, and that you don’t want to do anything more. That you don’t want to advance yourself, and would rather drink beer, talk about some basic ass shit… And that you would rather talk about non-intellectual things, or talk about intellectual topics without any forethought – don’t go around making it harder for other people.
Don’t be downplaying the work of others who are working their asses off every night. Staying up every single night to build a fucking dream that you were to scared of even looking at.
Don’t go pretending that you could’ve done it, that you just didn’t. Oh it was just some coding. Just an API. Just a few trades. Just a lucky break.
You dont even know how being motivated feels like and you don’t even know how hard it is – because you literally don’t know the effort that goes into it.
I’ve seen this happen to so many people. Spend a couple years, trying to do something. Toil around for a little bit, and then settle down in something completely medi-fucking-ocre and act as if it gives them a ticket (of purpose) in life, when really all they did was put their dreams on the back burner.
It seems like when people have something they can latch onto for identity, all morals and thoughts go out the window.
They become deserving of praise, and become administrators of judgement without qualification. I apologize, just because you have a child, does not mean you’ve done anything amazing. Yes, your love for your child is amazing, but you yourself did absolutely nothing. Just because you receive a job, and did everything you were supposed to do, does not mean I give a fuck. You literally sat there with a plug in your ass and your bosses cock in your mouth, teary eyed, doing exactly what this mother fucker did at 20% of the productivity if you were working on something you actually wanted to do.
The biggest issue here is that a lot of people… change…
When you do this, you are doing a disservice to society, yourself, and the individuals around you.
So do yourself a favour. If you’re not looking to help anyone else, unless it’s to supplement your lifestyle, and if you’re scared of helping people who might threaten your mediocre life and safety in the status quo, do everyone else a favour and shut the fuck up. You fucking cuck.
