On Compare and despair

 Unpopular opinion (On July 29, 2021)

We're so hung up on chasing the green paper that derision arise over those who haven't quite figured shit out

Disclaimer - Money is not just important. It is very necessary.

However, while it's cool and dandy to push entrepreneurship et "be your modafuckin boss" in people's faces, it would be wise to ring this bell... "Not everyone is cut out for that!" Hello!

As always, I'd use myself as example. I can't deal with buying and selling. Mba, I'm not cut out for it. I do not have the will, neither do I derive joy in taking orders, packaging and delivering them.

So, while persons like me take on less than par brain gigs, or waddle through long hours of boring ahem, lectures to feature our brain work, this is just digging the muddy and unsexy foundation for future ambitions/goals that suit our desired lifestyle.

Let's not forget, that most people haven't even figured their shit out. In fact, for the next decade or so, some of us will still not be sure of our place in life.

But since everyone is so hung up on achieving the highest in the less minimal time possible. And displaying the wealth to choke on others, it thus becomes a mad race for the green paper with some underlying traces/smudges of despondency.

You think that the compare and despair syndrome is getting to you now we're in the 4 walls of the university?

Aaah... Nothing will prepare you for the large blocks of despair, and depression that'd likely hit you on graduation.
