And the Attention Goes To…
In our society, people who do less get more attention. The current financial situation is a prime example. I don’t wish bankruptcy or foreclosure on anyone, it’d be a very scary predicament, but there’s a good chance they’ll get bailed out or helped in some manner, which is good for them, but what about all the people who live within their means and don’t rack up debt we can’t afford? Why do we even have to endure a shitty economy, low interest rates, and every media outlet pouring out apocalyptic negativity? There’s a lot of people who didn’t do anything wrong, yet are being hurt because of all this.
There was definitely a lot of deceit from the lenders and I don’t want to sound insensitive to those affected, but a lot of people had nothing to do with this mess.
Sometimes it can feel so unrewarding to go to work, pay your bills, and avoid dramatic events, yet if you do dumb things that set you back, someone is always there to comfort you, console you, and make you feel like everything will be alright.
There’s a lot of people who make responsible choices and do well enough to make it on their own, but aren’t making enough to live super comfortable. So why aren’t they the ones who receive more, instead of the ones who do dumb stuff?
What does this tell people? Don’t apply yourself, make idiotic choices and someone will always be there with a safety net. A safety net a responsible person supplied for you.
But hey, attention feels good, we all need a bit.
