At times, I feel as though I am aboard a sinking ship with no ability to do anything. I don't like the feeling of a lack of control in my own life. It makes me want to go off grid and enjoy solitude or good company.
I don't want to play this game with mortgages or loans or interest rates. I'm sick of being in a constant tug of war with speculative investors and bad leaders (political, private, any leadership), pushing up the cost of essential goods like food, water, housing, transportation, energy costs, medical care, and a good quality of life. I don't want to tolerate constant disrespect or micromanagement in a workforce. I don't want to work harder to pay for rising costs, because that will probably just enable and signify that prices can be raised more. I don't want to have to pay taxes when they are spent frivolously.
I don't want to have to participate. But leaders want participation. We see just how much leaders, hate people not participating. Because when people don't participate, leaders lose workers. They lose money. They lose taxpayers. They lose consumers. They lose soldiers. They lose cogs turning that keep the machine working. They want us to play the game and will do what they can to have us in it as much as possible, because the game is in their favor. But why should I play a game not in my favor? Or pay the price when they make bad decisions?
I feel as though the ultimate goal is to get to a position where I don't have to participate in all of this, and do what I want. The ultimate goal is for me to be able to do what I want, and not what others want. I don't want to have to pay the price for other peoples' incompetence, greed, apathy, and personal issues.
Leadership needs to get their act together, or else they are not worth my time, attention, effort, and participation. No one should be entitled to another person's company. I know there's a way better than all of this and I am going to find it, because I and others deserve more than this. A good quality of life should be free.
