Today I’m going to get up at 4:30 am (an hour from now). I’m going to go play the same game I’ve been playing for 42 years. The one where I give more then I get to someone who is less intelligent then me, and cares nothing for the ones he hurts and uses while playing the game. I’ll accomplish more then expected of me, and I’ll do it perfectly, because having a strong work ethic is important to me. Neither credit, appreciation, or honest compensation will be given to me for my hard work. I will go home feeling used, and question why it feels so wrong to live life this way, and I will wonder why so many people are ok with it, and never stand against it. Then I’ll explain to my family that the cost of living is just to high in comparison to what employers feel our family is worth, and apologize for giving all of our income away to the greedy, and explain that it’s better to have a roof over our heads then to be able to do anything fun as a family, and hope that maybe one day one the greedy who feel no guilt for playing the game might realize that I am worth more then a piece of paper, and much to intelligent to play along happily when I know it causes others to suffer. There is only right and wrong there is no In between. Have a blessed day everyone!
I’m dead, this post made my day. Not that I take pleasure in anyone else’s hardship, it’s just so damn relatable.
