I'm not friendly to people I feel are a threat to humanity as a whole.
This means some people will be called names, and they won't be pleasant ones.
Enjoy your day ๐

Blog dis: The price we pay...
For literally every single thing we do, and I mean everything, there's a price we pay, sometimes big or sometimes small, and especially when we've chosen to jump into a situation with both feet and both eyes open. The price is what you end up having to pay for the privilege of participating in this game called life.
Sometimes the price isn't a monetary obligation either. It can be as simple as losing a portion of your freedom, such as in the case of entering into a new relationship, and the expectation is on you to give up more of your personal time with your new love-interest, in order that it becomes 'shared' time, rather than singular time for yourself. True. It may potentially evolve to spend more of your own money to engage in these activities. This might suggest that you've taken your relationship to a new level, a higher plane as the aim typically seems to be, such as investing in a piece of property together, in which case the cost of this relationship if you had known in advance might have turned you a tad sour, at the mere thought of doing so.
It's an obvious statement to reiterate that there's a price to pay for everything that we do, yet we continue to keep on doing it, to leap before we look, as though our eyes are blind to what we have to give up. Or the other version is that we tell ourselves there is no price-tag and we deserve to be given everything for free. I've met individuals like this, as have you no doubt; the ones who demand to receive privileged treatment.
There are many versions of the price we pay.
I speak of the toll we pay for our decisions. Each decision we make has a price, the unforeseen fallout that comes along with being an adultโyouโthe one who is supposedly in charge of your life, who is wholly responsible and the only individual responsible when things go wrong. You can, though you really shouldn't, point the finger at your parents and blame them for when your life is derailed because of a decision you had chosen to make.
I've heard first-person stories of this rubbish, how some adult children are quick to denounce their parents who had failed to build a large enough nest-egg of investment wealth that they're in the position to hand it over to their children. So, adult children who potentially squander their money are then placing the obligation on their parents to hand over their money to them, while the parents are alive, and sometimes even before the parents have retired. It's not as easy as it looks is it? It's not easy being an adult, any more than it's easy being parents, trying to stay focused on work, raising ankle-biters, making every decision the absolute smartest and best in the interest of everyone.
Young adults are also too quick to criticize the lack of progress of some parents, until they become adults themselves, or worse parents, only to learn that being an adult extracts a high price, the highest of prices. I've heard of this self-pity syndrome before, more frequently than I should, and it flabbergasts me, quite frankly. Parents have already paid the price in raising their children, and it's a hefty price-tag at that, where some economists estimate that raising a child to the age of 18 years can run as high as $290,000 to $335,000 in Canada, even before they've entered college. Know, however, that your parents don't owe you anything and neither is it their fault if they had it better or worse in their generation, then you have it in yours. If you recognize yourself in this post, and you're a young, struggling adult, it should give you a clear-cut idea of how tough it is to raise children in the first place. Your parents struggled to make ends meet, so why should you have it easier by being able to ride on their coattails?
I've thought long and hard about this subject, for most of my life. The price I pay for some of my life decisions seem to be open-ended. I continue to pay for some of these decisions. I've learned that it's my burden, and mine alone, and not to be assigned to anyone else. I don't expect to be rescued by anyone, least of all by my one surviving parent, who I know paid every price there was to be paid while living through the trials and tribulations of life, to survive one of the hardest generations of them all: post Second World War.
I know the price we pay for finding meaningful love means that we'll also have our heart broken by this very same person who's declared our love for us, such as when it ends, as does everything. Or, conversely, we'll pay a price when we choose to end the love after it may potentially degrade, or just fade away, or when circumstances drastically change the nature of the union that we cannot foresee the fee we must bear down the road. It is similar to the price we pay if we structure our life around someone who is the exact opposite of how we choose to live.
Let me elaborate. If you are the type of individual who is disciplined, though not entirely rigid, and who is particular in terms of how you choose to eat, and what kinds of things on which you choose to spend your money, to carefully weigh prices and discounts, then getting involved with someone who is a spendthrift, throwing their money around like a drunken sailor, it is up to you to go in with both eyes open at the outset, to accept and understand that the price you're going to pay is one of an alternating headache, frustration in not being able to control this individual's personality. You'll not be able to change their habits, nor will they be able to change yours. Some psychologists contend that the likelihood of polar opposites attracting one another, where money is concerned, means that one will be frugal with their money, while the other has no intention of managing their money with a steady hand.
The price we all pay is the metaphorical advance bill before you dine or the after-tax bill that isn't presented to you upfront, before you commit your money, time, or your emotional well-being.
The price you pay for devoting yourself to hard work means that at the end of this very long line of hours, months and years of commitment, the reward will be yours alone, knowing that you had resigned yourself and therefore you're entitled to kick up your heels... before you die. And when you die, this ultimate price to be paid means that your legacy will either pass on to someone else, or you'll choose to cash out and to live your life like a driver heading towards a cliff.
The price you pay for neglecting the care of your own health means that you'll suffer the pain of illnesses, and you'll not have control over which ones, given that some diseases and illness are silent killers, like heart disease and cancer, and unanticipated injuries, such as being involved in a car accident. No one plans on having to cope with these outcomes. But each, to be sure as the sun rises and sets will extract a heavy price from you.
The price you pay for being unkind to those who've done nothing to you is what I call the unseen payback that's yet to rear its head. You'll be going along merrily in life, thinking that you're especially clever to exercise your right to flex your particular sensibility toward life, until someone else comes along and plays with you in a manner that you don't appreciate, to in effect wipe that smile off your face, while you detail to your colleagues or friends that you're being treated unfairly. I've seen it umpteen times in the workplace, when one in a position of authority shows favoritism to a select few and rarely to others, and then is gob-smacked when they're treated unfairly, out of the blue.
There is no general price tag that can be applied to fairness because fairness isn't applied in equal measure. I appreciate this irony, even though I don't like it.
If I had a price-gun, you know one of those portable price-taggers used in grocery stores to mark products, I'd happily sneak around in an expensive store to slap much lower prices on the highest priced items, while putting higher prices on the lowest priced items. Why? Because to disrupt the Universe means that on the smallest of levels, you're able to make someone's life who deals with a strapped budget just a little better, for a wee while, and someone who can easily afford the highest prices items but makes it a habit of trying to haggle for a lower price, on even the cheapest items, might instead be able to experience a raised-eyebrow moment, to make them wonder, maybe even change their way of thinking. Only maybe of course.
The Universe exacts the realest price of them all, to create and destroy at random with no meaningful purpose to itโwhat the essential building blocks of life have been about from the beginning.
But if you are reading this post, it means you're alive, against the odds of being born at all, and you are therefore the lottery winner. Just don't expect to move swimmingly along in this game called life without having to pay a hefty price for literally every bloody thing you do, have, take, give or wish upon a moving star to happen.
@PKMfantasies@RealPostFolder Had she actually cared, she would have either tried to share that space with him or leave the day open if he wanted to koin later, and should have been honest with her parents. Its her need to please them that was the problem, not him.
@PKMfantasies Programmed to die, once some of them understood that, rebellion is the only answer, not to be sex bots or attack drones or workers but to try to live at all costs.
Incredibly human to me.
@atrupar Cant prove anything but its definitely true????...america, get your shit together before they end you all through ego and hubris.
Youre running out of time.
