The Most Power-Drunk
Discussing core values is all well and good, as long as there is follow through. Anyone that knows me or has read my posts here knows that I am flat-out disgusted by society today. There is no such thing as core values. Or morals. Or even ethics. It's ridiculous.
Kids today don't learn accountability, and because of that, they are destined to failure. Punishment is a thing of the past, and today's youth has a sense of entitlement that I find laughable. They have that because they've never had to pay for a mistake, because teachers are too scared of a lawsuit to punish, and parents are...well, they are what they are. Sadly misquided at best. My dad whooped my ass when I deserved it, and I turned out to be ok (all of you that actually do know me keep your mouths shut here
). Maybe it's laziness. Maybe it's this thread - they're too busy running the rat race to actually take care of the more important shit - like making sure your kids learn respect and accountability. I don't know, but the obvious moral decline in today's society is depressing as hell to me, because it's only going to get worse...
Anyways, with regard to this...yeah, the rat race can suck. Personally, I work my ass off to ensure that I have money to ensure my happiness, and the happiness of those I care about. Too much of this attitude, obviously, will destroy anyone...but anyone that tells me they are truly happy when they're two bucks away from welfare is a fucking liar...there has to be a middle ground. Kudos to those who enjoy their well-paying job, and can balance that workload with a personal life. If you work too hard and make no time for your family, you are miserable. If you don't educate yourself and/or suffer professionally for the sake of your family, you are also miserable. Fine the middle ground. I know, personally, if I didn't make the money I did, I would not be happy. I like my car, I like my house, and I don't want to live in the country to make ends meet.
In Scooter's case, however, I also wouldn't be happy shopping at Kmart and Target to put clothes on my kid's back. Find the middle ground, Scooter...move somewhere, but don't give up everything.
