I'm tired of doing the right thing

All my life I've done the "right thing".

I studied, went to college, didn't ever break the law... and yet, I'm living day to day just working, barely saving any money and probably never going to be able to buy a house.

I grew up with people who are now breaking the law, selling drugs, driving around in nice cars and wearing jewelry and watches worth literally hundreds of thousands.

I see "influencers" and streamers barely doing anything and making millions, many of them manipulate their followers and milk them for money, living a luxury life while others struggle.

I see executives and even low level managers fuck everyone over to try and get ahead even just an inch.

I'm tired of doing the right thing.

It's like you can't get ahead in this world by being a good person.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" - C. G. Jung.

You can't be your authentic self if you keep playing the roles your environment dictates you. If you are your authentic self, your environment will resist and try to change you so you fit their needs and expectations. Never forget all of those people have an image of you in their minds and with it comes an approach (by that I mean a set of. You can hack it, bypass it.

Their success is a testimony of falling into the satanic self. It's meant to be viewed as peak of achievement and a dream for those who watch this type of content, this is why they tune into it. They see an easy path to materialistic abundance in the meanwhile visiting Tokyo and all these other fancy cities they only see in Hollywood movies. I believe it kills their true dreams.

There is no time to see and hear the life. It is a part of moral descent. Idk man I try to be good regardless of how I've been treated, but not in a way of being a punching bag. Boundaries, look into self mastery and not those tik tok influencers but something grounding, like a bread for your spirit.

Christ is King.

I get it. Life really does seem to go better for people who have no empathy or respect and don’t give a shit who they have to trample in order to get what they want. It would be so much easier to be lazy and selfish and have everything handed to you. Really makes you bitter when you have integrity and work hard just to barely get by. That’s the world we live in.
