Persistence and the act of it is a noble goal but most people will never accomplish their dreams or they will not be able to make a living.   Most people have passion but that does not mean you will be successful doing what you are passionate.   But at the same time I respect those who kept on persistenting no matter what they were told.   They said in essence “alright I’ll get it next time”.   They did not say I am doing the best I can.   Those are two different prospectives.   I think instead of being reached constantly because of technology it is killing us.   I really wish we could hit the reset button that would be a utopia to use a left-wing term.   I really wish we could go back to that survival instinct that I think we all have but we need to go back there.   Cavemen we are not that far behind that.   Because if they did not have enough food logs fire etc they would die.   A lot of this is shown on the History Channel which if they do not do tasks during certain seasons their families  will die.   I think we need to bring back that survival mechanism instead of paying attention to social media and emails.   All that will do is cause generations to be angry depressed and paranoid.   The only way human beings will find fulfillment is looking outside of themselves.   The more anyone thinks about themselves and their circumstances the more unhappy and misery you will cause yourself and those around you.   Those who are able to see the needs of others will be more fulfilled.   But here is the issue I seem to struggle I internalize  to way too much so there is a balance there which I am trying to accomplish which I am trying to master but I think it is a daily pursuit much like happiness.   Which I struggle but I think everyone does but happiness is a constant pursuit.   One factor that will cause people to be unhappy is a victim mentality believing you are a part of a marginalized group those indviuals will always have a chip on their shoulders.   That is why I believe there is so much unhappiness out there because of the victim mentality.   I think there is a belief by young people but some older folks that are finding meaning in social media I am not joking there are people who are getting their self-worth through social media and the like.   If there are groups growing  up out there that are activists on social media and there getting their meaning and self-worth and meaning by creating #Hastings we are going to turn on ourselves which is already happening.   I think social media and the constant need to be reached at all times is making everyone miserable.   We are already turning on ourselves.   I think any psychologist will tell you that social media and the constant use of it has created unintentional consequences that will last generational.   I wonder how many people have achieved their dreams and believe they will be happy but then they get it and become depressed?   Because they neglected so much of their time from their family and friends?   My last post was about how fear distorting us as indviuals.   Adam Carolla wrote: in his book I’m Emotional Support Animal which is extremely refreshing and threptic at the same time that calmest people that he has met are mixed martial artists and Indy car racers I think the main reason is that despite of their fear and the risks involved they are willing to take that chance which is not the absences of fear but pushing through it.   But that the Indy car racer would not want to trade with the MMA fighter because they know  what their strengths and weakness are.   I do not think it is wise to tell young people that they do not need to go to college or graduate school because everyone needs something to fall back Denzel Washington says he does not want anything to fall back on he wants to fall forward.   Back to persistence I respect that and it may go back to the principal found in Chris Jericho’s book: No is a four-letter word not taking no for an answer.   Which is a principle found in  the movie Tommy Boy.   So I respect those who are able to find a way and do for themselves but not everyone is able to do that.   Many people do not have an option to not go to college or graduate school.   To suggest that I did not need to go to college or graduate school so no one else needs to either is not helpful.   Not everyone needs to go but they should consider it.   There seems to be a lot of intimidation out there out there because of social media and the elimination of ideas there are organization whose sole purpose is to convince a martialized group that they are victims and any criticism  of that must be eliminated.   The left’s goal is to eliminate anything that others may get joy.   An example: humor any and all humor must be eliminated because it may cause unintended offense.   I do not think we are evolving as people we are only de evolving we are only getting weaker.   I am not the best at dealing with reality on reality’s terms. I just cannot handle a lot of it.   There is a certain amount of luck in this world or I will use the term blessed people are blessed to be Americans and they are blessed to have good parents and health.   That is the real  privilege we have.   I think that is the message we should be sending young people.   Younger generations saying that if you are not mean on social media that you are just to old and that is just the way it is I truly hate that.   Younger generations rejecting wisdom because they view older people to be Neanderthals will only end badly.   Bill Duke said something and he never forgot it he said: “when I was a young man I believed my father to be a fool now that I am older oh how wise he has become because when you are young you think you know every damn thing and the people that you  don’t  listen to wait until you get some scars on you will realize how dumb those people really are”?   Wait until the world slaps you in the face towards it’s in difference towards you”.   I mean the word slap only metaphor ally but it is true.   There so many phrases words that are now triggered  and the confusing aspect it is constantly changing which I believe we are de evolving.   That is why I pray for God’s Holy Sprit to guide us and come into those lives that are broken.   Which I need to add we all are.
