I am going thru a
hard time in my life now for several different reasons, and there is little if
no sympathy, empathy, or understanding of my situation by the vast numbers of
people whom I have to deal with in my day to day life. This is sad, but is normal, as abnormally
normal as life gets in this dysfunctional age in which I live.
I have spent over
$500.00 on repairs to my Jeep Cherokee, and the money spent on these repairs
took money which needed to go to food, gasoline, storage, and recurring fixed
expenses that are inflexible and cannot be ignored. I have not worked as much
as possible for my day job, and inflation is slowly eating away at the purchasing
power of the money I do have, to a marked degree. I just don’t earn enough money
to survive, much less prosper, in 2014.
My ‘So-called friends
are nit-picking every little thing I do ‘Wrong”, and I don’t hear it directly, I
hear about it from one person who orders me around and likes doing it-he must
have a control freak complex that’s barely disguised. He is an alcoholic anyway, and I am about finished
with him.
I have also been told
that the things I talk about are of no interest, and are NOT important to
certain people whom I thought were my “Friends”. If I am NOT free to talk about
things that I care about and am interested in, then these people whom I thought
were my “Friends”, are NOT.
I find myself talking
to fewer and fewer people as each day goes by, and this is a symptom of a
deeper set of problems in the USA , and in Western Civilization. Freedom
of Expression is frowned upon, and speaking your mind is increasingly
discouraged, in order to “Fit In”. I have NEVER “Fit IN”; ask anyone who knows
me or knew me in my past, and they will tell you I’ve always been “Weird”, “Strange”,
“Crazy”, etc etc etc, ad Nauseum.
I have grown tired of
being told to “Shut Up”, “Keep my ideas to myself”, and to “Talk about what
others want to talk about, NOT what YOU want to talk about”. The time has come
to find new people to associate with, people who can help me, care to help me,
and am interested in me for me, Not for what they can get out of me.
