It is a dog-eat-dog world out there. This is a simple fact. No matter how we try to cut it so that life seems comforted, the cold hard reality slaps us in the face. In short, you are the one you are going to have to depend upon.
We are seeing a great debate taking place within the United States about the role of government. Many are tossing the term "nanny state" around. Getting involved in this debate is not something I am going to do. However, it does illustrate how weak most people are.
The Lesson From Katrina
The press loves to toss around accusations about the failings of FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Certainly, there are valid points that are raised. Without rehashing that train wreck, there is something more fundamental about the lesson from Katrina. The press likes to proclaim how people who depended upon the government were harmed because of FEMA's failures. Dependence upon the government cost these people.
However, there is another group who depended upon the government: the roughly 1,500 people who died. These are the poster children for what happens when one depends upon others. Their faith in the grand power of the government to save them ultimately cost them. The dogma spewed by politicians seeking power lead people down the path to death. They are dead today because they were broken and weak.
Does all this sound to cold for you? Well it should because the world is a cold harsh place. Anyone who buys into the polyanna dogma that offered is a fool waiting to be had. Reliance upon another cedes power over to them. It makes one weak and vulnerable. Those who do so willing are setting themselves up to be walked upon. Nature dictates that, not me.
Katrina was a powerful category 4 hurricane. At times while out in the Gulf, it hit category 5 status. This particular storm was the size of Texas spanning over 500 miles across. Unlike earthquakes which happen without much warning, a hurricane gives one plenty of time. These people knew it was coming.
And what did they do? They sat there while the ignorant leaders they elected failed to take action. Now, I must state that since I live in Florida, we have some idea what these forces of nature are all about. We understand that a category 1 is nothing more than a summer storm. Get your garbage cans in and don't worry about it. As for a category 4, there is only one solution: get the hell out of the way. Do whatever is necessary to get away from that thing. It will kill you if given a chance. Ask any Floridian about this and you will find the same answer.
Most did not die in New Orleans from Katrina. Why is that? Because some used their intelligence to realize that perhaps they ought to take care of themselves. Dependence upon another (whether person or institution) during a crisis is foolish. When your ass is on the line, take action. It is that simple. Dependence can kill you.
But The Poor
Many want to counter the notion I presented with the fact that many of these people were poor. They simple did not have the resources to protect themselves by getting out of town. This is a typical response for the proponent of weakness. There is always an excuse to justify their senseless catering to these type of people. The bottom line is these people should gone to any length to save themselves. If need be, steal a bus. Do whatever is necessary to save yourself.
The truth of the matter is these people were not conditioned to think this way. They had a dependent mindset. The poor in this country is weak. That is not true around the world. Many countries see their poverty stricken fight to live on a daily basis. Each day is a struggle to survive. Not here. Our social programs remove that dire consequence. Instead, we have 2nd and 3rd generation welfare recipients who lack the ability to excel in life. The poor are glorified slaves. Nothing more.
Society likes the dogma of equality. It is a myth but one that is sold as realistic by all the do-gooders. Of course, Katrina showed that nature knows the truth. There is no such thing as equality. Trying to "level the playing field" only creates mediocrity. Every culture throughout the ages has seen those who are strong excel. There are "Elite" in every nation. At the same time, there are also pawns who are used by the powerful. The question is "which one are you going to be".
Changing The Course
In my book Sexual Motivation, I write about the need to tap into that power that is within all of us to move ourselves from the present situation we currently reside. Along these lines, I make reference to the hierarchy that exists within society. If you are to alter you life, you need to do those things which will move you up the ladder. Applying your sexual desires to motivate yourself will lead you to success.
One of the first things you can do to change you position is to realize that most people will do nothing to better themselves. They are of the same mindset of those who died in Katrina. They are so ingrained in dependency that they cannot even save their own lives. Mediocrity is a step up for many people. They exist only to die. That is the story of their life. In between, they do little that makes an impact on anything. The years pass by with continued complaining and bitching about everyone else. Ultimately, their loss is their own making. But these people will never understand that.
The "Elite" view things in a much different light. They understand the mindset of most and take action to separate themselves from the pack. These people use the masses for their own ends. Success if not create in a vacuum. Along the way, you will need the assistance of others. Some do it willingly while others are unknowing pawns. They key is to tap into both to maximize your progress.
The bleeding hearts like to refer to the usury practices of business owners. They sling accusations about being greedy and taking advantage of people who work for them. However, this shows the ignorance of most people. Anyone who works for another does so willingly. He or she trades time for money. That is how it works. Put in 40 (or 80) hours and get a check. You are entitled to wages, not profits (I understand that some companies have profit sharing; that is a different subject). The business owner is the one who profits (or loses). When a business is highly successful, a business owner can make a substantial amount of money.
Many feel this owner has an obligation to share with those who work for him or her. That is untrue. The deal was that an employee would get a paycheck for his/her time. As long as that agreement is fulfilled, an owner has no other obligation. If an employee does not like that, he or she is free to seek work elsewhere. There are no slavery clauses in any employment contract. Anyone can up and quit without reason.
Many see unfairness in this system. What I see is a system that is natural. The people who agree to the employment terms deserve to get stepped upon. They are at the bottom of the food chain. Those who move up the hierarchy know that they are responsible for the choices they make. When one is willing to make the trade of time for money, that is a person who can be leveraged for personal gain. Trying to deny this fact is foolish.
Understand this concept if you want to alter your life. There are many who are around you who will never amount to anything. Now, I am not saying they are not nice people or that they dont have wonderful hearts. That is all probably true. However, the fact is that most of society falls at a place on the hierarchy where they allows others to leverage them for their benefit. Someone is already doing it. In fact, it is being done to you also. The difference is you are now aware of what is happening.
It is a dog-eat-dog world out there. Resist the temptation to buy into anything that tells you otherwise. Only the weak depend upon something outside of them for their success. You are here to forge your own path. Start moving your way up the hierarchy. If not, someone else will be stepping on you.
