Daily Affirmation of Failure for 10-29-15

No matter how hard I work, I will most likely remain where I am. The system is not a meritocracy, and the higher positions are reserved for the beautiful people and their children. I am not beautiful, so no doors will be opened for me, I will not get second chances, and my perfectly justifiable frustrations at being condemned to drudgery will be seen as insolence and insubordination. Therefore, unlike the beautiful, my desire to better myself will not be seen as ambition but as a dire threat. And unlike them, my dreams will not be seen as endearing and a sign of "inner motivation" but out of place and kind of sad.

Falling Down

If you are falling down and too exhausted to get back up, the world hates you. They say you have to keep on trying no matter what and "never give up." But they also say that it's a competitive world and they make sure they send their children to the best schools paying dearly for the name on the degree. What do these people think will happen to the people who don't have a diploma with that name on it? Surely, they must be expecting something grand from so costly a piece of paper.

So, if this is so and the world is so competitive, it stands to reason that there will be winners and losers. It also stands to reason that those that have failed early on in life will have it harder as they attempt to climb the hill after they have already fallen, in some cases numerous times.

If the person who can't make it then becomes too tired to get back up, and commits the sin of recognizing his despair, hopelessness and exhaustion why do we then hate  him so much? He may just be saying he failed and outlining why; and it may dawn on him it is just too late.

So what? Let him have his consolation. He is not feeling sorry for himself, just trying to understand his life.

Anyway, his failure leaves more for you, so why do you care if he has given up? You have paid for him to give up, haven't you?

Daily Affirmation of Failure for 10-28-15

If aliens came down and abducted me, it would be the best thing that ever happened to me. I could easily endure the anal probe or even being put into a Human Zoo as long as they (the aliens) promised to take me to their planet and off of this one.

Quotations for Those Not Good Enough

Well I've never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone

Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin'
They take it and don't say a word
They don't say a word

Sometimes it's like I don't even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone

Daily Affirmation of Failure for 10-27-15

None of the cliches work for me. I can toil away patiently waiting for my day to come. I can endure all hardship and bleak outcomes. I can "create my own reality," create my own life and exercise my will to power. But none of it matters because I know I will spend my senior years underneath a bridge near the expressway, holding up a sign and begging for money no matter what I do.

There is probably someone right now at my job who hates me and is plotting against me. I will get fired without any chance to defend myself because my boss likes that person and could care less for me and my life.

Great Quotations for Those Not Good Enough

“I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.”
