I go to work everyday. I listen to the news on the radio. I get angry.
Don’t you? Why not?
The drivers around me driving well over the speed limit, putting me in danger. They can’t handle it. It’s obvious. They don’t look far enough ahead, zip up to the pack of cars and then hammer on their brakes. They swerve back and forth from lane to lane with no turn signal. They never actually get any farther ahead than me, sitting here in my lane with the cruise control on. But they can’t see it. They can’t think.
Why are they allowed to get away with it? Because we let them.
The people at work doing everything they can to “get theirs”. Everyone concerned only with themselves. Not seeing that that attitude hurts the entire business, including them. They make a mess and leave it. They cut corners to boost their numbers even if it hurts someone… anyone… everyone. They can’t see that hurting the whole hurts them. They don’t see that they’re part of the whole. They’re special, at least they think so.
Why are they allowed to get away with it? Because we let them.
The people we elected to represent us. They do whatever they can to further their own power, protect their futures and pad their pocketbooks. They tell you they care about you. They lie with a smile on their face. They pander to the power and the money so they can keep their useless, ineffective positions. They go directly against the will of the people to serve the will of the money. Their actions destroy our lives and they don’t care.
Why are they allowed to get away with it? Because we let them.
Stop letting them. Start creating consequences. Start thinking.
Think, people! Think!
Use that lump on top of your shoulders! Yes, it can be scary when you tear away the veil and see what’s really out there. That’s the point! We’ve let it go so long it is scary. But you are the only one who can fix it.
So get to it.
