Life is a disappointment because everything is a lie. The idea that if you work and manage your money responsibly you will succeed is a lie.
Romanic love is a lie. Yes, we all have the need to be in an intimate relationship, but real love with a special person is a lie. It is not that you cannot meet some one and fall in love. It is that for some of us love is such a spiritual and extreme experience that only one particular person will suffice. In addition, I do not want to lower my standards.
Of course, the idea “get an education and a good paying job” is a lie. Out of some weird circumstances I ended up applying for a job and got called in for an interview. The person who interviewed me went on about how they need people with a bachelors degree and their state of Texas Counselor Intern degree, both of which I have. He said they had many applicants with associate degree. I thought in the game of degree poker that a bachelor’s degree beat an associate degree.
However, here it is almost a week a later and no call back. (Not that I actually wanted the job.) I was actually contemplating refusing the job is I was offered it. It just hurts to know that I am more than qualified and I am not appealing to these employee hunters.
I am afraid to admit it but issues of faith are even a bigger lie. Since I had gotten in touch with Jesus Christ, my life has actually gotten worse; which I did not think was possible.
Now all I can do is work and make money. However, every day I get more physically and mentally exhausted. At least I figured out how to deal with the exhaustion and dizziness that comes from when I eat anything. I just do not eat.
Now why do I write this miserable diatribe? Well I can only hope you do not make the mistakes I made. Of course, I do not see what is wrong with planning and working at building a life.
