sathorNot a once in my life did I have some sort of grandiose scheme devised that would result in me becoming some sort of fascist, bourgeois capitalist. I was always attracted to the less "lucrative" disciplines.
If you expect someone like me to box myself into conventionality; if you expected someone like me to have looked ahead ten or fifteen years when I was in high school and plan accordingly - probably the most turbulent and hormonally imbalanced time of my entire life besides being the most emotionally destructive - then you probably don't know me all that well...or you're one of those conventional thinkers I tend to stay away from.
To be destructive towards the argument that the current system of economics is lacking in equitably is foolhardy - at BEST. To try and suggest to someone such as myself that maybe I should have made some different decisions is also quite arrogant and judgmental, not to mention completely lacking in any sort of substance. Considering your experience is vastly different than my own, your options have been vastly different than my own, your genetic makeup - your desires - your perspective - all different than my own, I believe it is safe to say you really have no place to try a teach a man to fish when you haven't really figured out how to fish at all. You've managed to figure out how to play a part in the process of fishing - maybe you're a net mender, or a deckhand, or a diesel engine mechanic, but you're certainly no captain of a ship. The process of fishing as a whole is veiled by a sheet of iron for you, and while you have minute mastery of a particular specialized aspect of fishing, you should not for a minute offer up your advice on fishing - besides your particular specialized mastery of it - to others as though your current station in society grants you the divine right to do so.
But being that you perceive yourself as some kind of superior beings, and that you are performing some sort of service unto me when you insult the focus of my time and intellect, I think it is safe to say I have no further need for you. Indeed, I never really did have a need of you. At one point in time, maybe it was some sort of twisted sense of friendship that allowed it all to continue...but now it could only be my masochism.
It would be best if you are the type of individual who perceives yourself as wholly superior to the rest of us drudges in the trenches, we undesirables and untouchables, the working class, and can not comprehend the influence of luck on your current life circumstances, attributing it wholly to your own actions and your own self, your own intelligence, that you should simply leave this place and never return.
