It is human nature to wish ill of others, because in doing so, they believe they have overcome their own shortcomings. Some may excuse it as "trying to teach a lesson", but in the end it is within themselves that they must do battle, if they wish peace.
Now im a householder Jhanon, I work 16 hours a day 5-6 days per week, as you know. I wish for the moon and the stars to find just a moment of peace to search for enlightenment. You also know, that i sleep maybe 5 hours a night. I choose to sacrifice my own well-being, I choose to suffer this, because for me, it is necessary. Not only have I learned that within conflict and discomfort can you know oneself, but you can also find change and growth.
With that said, do not be party to the mold they have cast for you, because it is how you say, they are the ones confused. Rather, search within for the answer, and decide if change is warranted.
If you wanna go job hunting, im off today. You and I found a laugh once, in the words; "The world doesnt wait for us." "No it sure fuckin doesnt!"
