Unfairness

Recently someone my age committed suicide because he see himself as a failure in life. He have a "dead end job" he couldn't afford things like marriage and sadly our society expect more than what he can achieve. You see, I did say you can't blame him for being the way he is because, given a choice he wants to be capable and smart, given a choice he wants to be able to provide and succeed in life.

You might say, his stinking attitude led to a crappy life. True but that was the result of his up bringing and mind programming, is it totally his fault?. Did he choose his parents and the type of up bringing? Given a choice he would probably choose to be born in a well to do family that comes with good up bringing.

I have been thinking about this since at least 6 years old and I remember my mom getting a bit annoyed with me when I question all these things hahaha. I concluded that we can't blame incompetent people or "poor and useless" people for being who they are. They are the by product a world filled with unfairness and suffering. The catch is, we could be them by being born as them. The line between the average, rich and poor is very very thin. The similarity between the haves and have not is, God is the maker of them all. Despising the incapable and poor for being who they are just doesn't sound right.

The conviction in me is to do my best to make this world better for everyone. Hopefully someday if God bless me, I can have the privilege to have more influence in this area.

Being just smart is pretty useless

You may think you are smart, you may think you are a cut above the rest, perhaps you are, but unless you do something tangible with your smarts it doesn't matter how smart you are. Even if you are smart, it is just fleeting fantasy in your head, get it? useless fantasy. Geniuses and smart people are recognized in history and society for what they have uniquely produced NOT what they CAN produce, get it?

So being smart can pick apart people's argument, make them look stupid and what? Create enemies and more obstacles in their life? Smarts in a "wrong" way will not open doors unless it is used to produce. People appreciate builders not destroyers. It doesn't matter how smart you are, if you use it to intimidate people, you will get no credit for it. Quite a few smart people I see are just too argumentative, or not motivated by anything more than their end of the month pay check. There is nothing wrong with only looking forward to your pay check every month and nothing else, just don't expect people to give you credit for whatever intelligence you have,

So for those people that are genuinely creative, intelligent or savants like, I say do something tangible and extraordinary with it(and that excludes arguing and debating, unless it is with someone else that equally enjoys it).
