Failure
How do you tell someone they're going to be a failure? I'm not even talking about the people who know they are and tell others that they are. No, usually those people aren't failures, they keep themselves in check and rise above it.
I'm talking about arrogance. Who knows what led to it. Maybe a family that was always there to make sure they never had to deal with any kind of struggle monetarily, or maybe just being friends with the right people for whatever reason and just having opportunities handed to them without any real effort on their part.
I'd like to just meet a hot rich girl. I want to just be able to do anything that I want without fearing the consequences or worrying about what family I'd have to support with my income. I could just mooch off her and follow her around as she made valuable career choices. After all, as a career woman she needs to show that she's in a relationship. It benefits both her and me. And in my off times, I could write books or draw pictures. I can make money off that right? I can call getting in a lucky relationship a career, right?
Maybe I should have just went to school as long as I could. I mean, there's double majors and supplimental education, there's masters and doctrines and second masters and second doctrines. I could go to graduate school forever, and never accomplish anything other than learning how to memorize something. All those papers would look so great, and I'd have physical proof that i'm better than everyone.
Never mind that my annual income for the last 15 years I was in school was less than five thousand dollars, because I just keep getting loans, and whatever the loans can't cover, I ask my parents for. And my parents always pay because they have high hopes that when I finally finish getting all these pieces of paper, they can just live off of my salary forever. Never mind that if I took a minute to think about how many years I didn't make any money and how much money was invested in me, that i'd be in debt to the loaners and my family until I was 50 years old.
Usually these people end up having some sort of success in their lives. Did they really earn it though? Can you really have earned something if you never struggled to get it?
I just want to tell these people that they'll be failures. I want them to have that fear in them so that every day, they have to reevaluate their existance and see if they aren't just having their hand held by their parents, their significant others, or the like.
Are you really earning your place in this world, or are you a failure being held up by others?
