Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see.

And further than that I only went there out of sympathy with them because they were on my level or maybe beneath it and I thought it was the noble thing to do!

Then there were hippo calves snuffling all around us and soon the mother would be there to see what all the fuss was about, and maybe we'd die this way together and I didn't want this to be the thing the world remembered me for. I was mother Theresa, or whatever the male version of Mother Theresa is, and I wasn't the Hulk Hogan.

Then I realized that's how she felt about me. She was in my world but not of it and I was just the imbecile who took her on the ride out of her way and into the rough that was my beta male situation.

That's when Robbie broke in and said "She only came because she loves me, Graham." That's when I started fisting and elbowing his backside and he farted directly in my face. I was suddenly the third wheel.
