The Human Condition
- In America -

IT IS WHAT IT IS

We are each born at a certain time in history, in a certain place, to certain parents, with a certain gene pool. These characteristics determine our gender, race, physical characteristics, and propensity for future physical conditions. It is what it is. In America our aspiration is that everyone with these characteristics be accepted. We're still working on that one, but with a big caution - the solutions being offered by political opportunists are a subtle, deceitful trap. These politicians and their Big Media and Big Tech accomplices have little regard for morals and are willing to harm you to get what they want.

LIFE ISN'T FAIR

Life isn't fair - it never was, and it never will be. You won't have gotten the best of everything - good looks, physique, mental acuity, best parents, nicest house. You may even have been dealt disabilities, some severe. Life isn't fair, but you can make the absolute best of your fate - or not. It's up to you.

BUT, BEWARE

Don't let political operatives tell you that you're condemned to be a victim. We're not talking about ordinary thieves, swindlers or rapists. We're talking about some of the smartest people on the planet, that are skilled at packaging sincere sounding concern for you, telling you how unfairly society has treated you, and that you deserve much better. These are swindlers of the WORST kind, as they are in it only for themselves despite their messaging. Once you vote for them, you've taken the bait. The nice sounding "empathy" they have for you is simply their trap to keep you hooked with anger over your "predicament". Once you start tasting the "free stuff" you're trapped in quicksand that gets harder to escape the deeper you sink.

America has the tools you need to succeed. Embrace them, use them, excel with them, and leave the dirty politicians in the dust.

Don't Take The Bait

LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Yes, in America, the Land of Opportunity, the rest is up to you to make wise - or unwise - personal choices. Conservative...Liberal...Cautious...Risk taker...It's up to you.

LIFE ISN'T FAIR - REVISITED

Life isn't fair - it never was, and it never will be. What makes you think your life should be free of trials? Recognize two things:

Most importantly, choose to Own Your Station In Life - don't let anyone tell you that you are a victim. See More [1]. Also This [2]. And This [3]. And This [4].

Life is 5% what happens to you and 95% how you handle it.

Paraphrase of quotes by Charles R. Swindoll, Kanye West and Lou Holtz

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Thomas Edison
