Loading ...“When the lights go out and a man is left alone with his thoughts, he is forced to confront the summation of the facts around him that his life is not as good as yesterday, and tomorrow will be worse.
Wages are not rising, and there is no good way to make up for this.
The average trip to the grocery store buys less food for the money spent, and every single person is there along the way to nickel and dime your life away.
So, when a man is alone with the thoughts of a long, slow demise, he tends to become uncomfortable.
This is nurtured by turning on the TV, or hearing the radio (everything is awesome!), or listening to some extrovert at work who just got back from a ski trip. Of course, that trip was paid for by tomorrow’s wages on a credit card.
A rage monster begins to grow inside of man because of these things. That monster can be controlled, usually by limiting the amount of time that can be spent actually thinking. Enter escapism (created false reality of social media), drugs, booze, and extroverted behavior (paid for by debt). Anything to quiet the rage monster.
This is where we are today. Where somewhere inside every man, there are the words of the rage monster that acknowledge of the truth.
That today is not as good as yesterday, and tomorrow will be worse.”
