I wanted to write about Oral Sex, or the N900 but I think I am going to run with a story that presented itself to me. I watched a couple struggle for years to pay their bills, they in essence work to pay bills and at the end of everyday the are in debt. I watched them repeat the same cycle for years never once variating from the path yet expecting for the subsequent days to be different. The couple then proceeded to chastise their youngest daughter for purusing dance, as a career choice.
The mystery couples daughter is aspiring to become a professional dancer, and works quite diligently to perfect her craft. The couple cant see the value in what she is doing because it weilds no monetary gain. The stress from bills piling they want her to give up on what she is doing to "contribute" to the house. Now I can understand that at the end of the day they all require a place to live, but what I see is what I call the "drag me down with you syndrome"
The couple has no clear plan, no goals, nothing to look forward to but bills, and then death. They in essence would also like to drive their ambitious daughter down the same hole. They want her to acclimate to a condition that will never change, spending all her time and money basically throwing it into a big black hole, wondering when exactly will the hole consume us all. If we keep feeding the hole money, atleast we know it wont be today. Sadly it will be someday.
My heart is breaking for her in this situation. They cant see past the pay bills lifestyle and clearly she is putting in the necessary work to not have to live that lifestyle. They come from two different generations and the mentalities are very different. Poor people need to break away from the make ends meet mentality, and step into the grasping for the big picture mentality.
At the end of the day, all that separate the have's from the have not's, is ambition. Focus your ambition like a laser and start cutting away, at your shitty reality, ultimately making room for a better one.
