I woke up, looked at a random Tiktok and realized what the guy was saying had some pretty good points, even if I understood it in principle all the time. We might all be on the same planet, on the same town, even in the same house and experience something trivial very differently, without anything being changed.
Off the top of my head, Cinderella, the long loved fable, was a favorite of my sister's. She saw the beauty of hope, friendship, and ultimately the prince comes and saves her. That is the stuff of dreams and what I guess littles girls hope for. To me, I see a girl going into a fantasy world after her mom dies, the dad doesn't care much or he would have noticed the abuse from the step family, she spends her time with vermin, surely getting some great gems like hantavirus, bubonic plague, salmonella, or a host of other deadly diseases, mice do nothing but carry disease and destroy property, they are not cute and wholesome. The best she can hope for is the prince and future king is going to save you, come on, but I guess in a fantasy anything could happen.
On a bigger scale, this is what is happening with our world and part of the chaos. I live in a world of hope and prosperity, we work hard and the result is that our children are benefitting from a more comfortable opportunity. I believe we are building a slow tower where my parents built me up as much as they could so I had it better than they did and now it is my turn to make my kid's lives better. There might be some stumbles along the way, but all in all, we are a team and it is a good time to be alive.
These people destroying property and screaming for more, have maybe never had the "easy" life we have endured, but it isn't the country's fault, look to your own. What did your family do to help you along, what are you doing to make sure the world is better for your kids? My belief is these people should lower their heads and get to the business of working hard. The world doesn't owe you shit. Make the best of your situation and make improvements for your kids, make sure they get an education, learn a skill, a craft. I'm sorry, we live here together, find a way to be useful to society and society might reward you. What good would it have done me if my parents had spent all their time throwing bricks at buildings and starting fires to bitch, moan, and complain? I think they spent their time well providing for us quietly, always having a home, food on the table, and gave us what we needed to make us stronger people. That is really what this great country provides, the chance to climb up through hard work. Nobody ever promised me that I would get to be a millionaire, but through my actions, maybe my kid or my kid's kid does get to get there.
