It’s OK To Feel Sorry For Yourself (If You’re Pitiful)

The pity is that everyone hates their job. The pity is that everyone is looking for a way out. A way to make ends meet without the soul crushing.

The pity is that most people spend years going to college and years working in a soul-killing position before they open their eyes.

The pity is that everyone thinks “If I could just get that one great idea…”, “If I could just get one big break…”, “If only someone gave me a chance I could really do something great”. The pity is that all the time spent day dreaming could have been spent building something.

The pity is that most people live with mountains of debt, go to work to pay off the debt, and then buy more things on credit. The pity is that everyone feels the burden of all that stuff on their shoulders but they don’t know that it’s ok to get rid of it all.

The pity is that people have become soul-less. The pity is that they drown themselves in booze, or narcotics, or games, or sex. The pity is that they think there is no way out.

The pity is that they become nihilistic. The pity is that instead of building and making the decision to live a rewarding and fulfilling life they just continue on the same path that is killing them.

The pity is that they will type, type, type away about all of their problems but they won’t type up a solution.

The pity is that they have unprecedented freedom to do anything they want. The pity is that it’s easier to not have a job than it is to have a job.

The pity is that everyone has an idea of what they want but no one has a plan. The pity is that when someone asks them “What do you want” they do not have a concrete answer.

That is the pity with them.

The pity with you is that you are not soul-less. The pity is that you are not a dumb animal. The pity is that they have unlimited options. The pity is that you consciously choose a dead-end path. The pity is that you will not make a decision without a committee approval.  The pity is that even though you are free you act like a prisoner.

The pity is that the solution has been right in front of your eyes this entire time.
