Why is it so much easier to just keep your head down and go with the flow of things rather than raging against the current because you know in your heart of hearts that it flows in the wrong direction? People rarely shift to a different course, it's disillusioning and painful.
I was looking at the career board for the english department and it irked me. All of the fields sounded horribly boring but then again, so do most of the others. Why is it we feel as if we must accomplish something great, and we must go down a path that leads to more than mediocrity? I don't want to just collect a check and file in line behind the other drones. I want to achieve greatness somehow. By greatness, I mean something I can feel good about each night.
I suppose this thought process is similar to those who enter a medical field in hopes of curing cancer. Truth be told, even upon completing an internship they will more than likely enter into a practice and become the puppet for drug companies and bowing to the whim of insurance companies. What happened to "Do no harm"?
I've also noticed something else. The people who are usually to blame are enveloped in a glorious cloud of righteous indignation when someone else shows even a slight hint of mishap. It's sickening to watch. I want to rip her face off.
Zealots in any form only perpetuate the cycle. They cure nothing. No matter how many stereotypes they shove people into.
Too bad the indians didn't feel the same way about immigration as we do now.
After I told Vinnie how I felt about my current situation, he said, "People who do great things often feel alone." I love Vinnie.
There are no "true friends", there are only people who are as equally stubborn as you are and are, more often than not, a bigger asshole.
That is all.
