Somethings are the way they are and words just can't explain. No matter how hard you try to make everyone understand, no matter how you make the picture clear...but when the person sitting in front of you doesn't want to see the real picture, not much can be done. It's better to let things be the way they are. There is no point banging your head against a wall.
What's interesting is how everyone is wearing the goggles and following each other blindly going to some Practical Valley of success through the roads of lies, games, hypocrisy and fake talk. And those who defy the norms are the mad ones. The blind followers ensure the madness doesn't spread any further. The fear of this lonesome madness is far greater than the fear of the blindness leading them to a shit hole. Or they feel at least they are together.
I just realized when I decided to leave my job how a lot of people indirectly told me what a loser I am. They told me how unhappy I will be. That I have left the best option and growth. I don't know how people can pass their judgement and predict the future without knowing why a decision was made in the first place. But because these people don't mean anything to me I didn't spend a lot of time explaining to them about my reasons.
It wasn't that easy for me either to take the step...I linger on to stuff for long. But then when I felt I wasn't happy I just took the step. Everyone can't take such steps but I was at a point when I felt peace of mind is more important than growth and success. If you don't bring the change then you're stuck and when you're stuck you're not growing from any angle. And what is life without any change. We have to take the risk. You can't play it safe all the time. And then when you are not wearing the goggles and following everyone blindly - perhaps you are the one to take such a step anyway which everyone disapproves of. Nevertheless, since it's your life you gotta make it or break it your way.
And then another thing is that I just feel when you are better than the rest you gotta be told this. But when you see the worshippers of fake shit are getting it all by doing nothing but by virtually blabbing stuff, it makes no sense to me. There should be a difference between work and shit! There should be a difference between being focused and playing games! The right things need to be told to the right people at the right time.
But since certain things are not in your control you gotta let them be. And since we are and should be in absolute control of our life...it's better to do what you think is right with your life and forget what everyone else thinks.
