Losers

Warning: This post is a deviation from the normal themes of this blog, and is an example of what happens when I go off on a rant. For actual examples of this blog’s posts, see the previous entry. Or the one after this one. Thanks!

Most of human society consists of losers. The progress of the human race is carried by 20 percent of the population while the other 80 percent provides the sweat equity to impliment that progress. The Great Pyramid of Giza was the vision of one man, but the pyramid was built by 10,000 losers (slaves or low paid indigenous workers depending on your intellectual bias on the subject). Wal Mart consists of only a handful of directors and Chief Execs, but thousands of losers stand at Wal Marts doors to greet you or scan your cans of baby formula. Hundreds of thousands of losers have played high school sports, but only a handfull get scholarships and play in college, and even fewer become professional atheletes.

Think back to high school. My freshman class was 600. My graduating class was 200. Where did the other 400 go? They dropped out, got GEDs, got killed, got pregnant, or moved. In every aforementioned case (save ‘moved’), they are the losers. I am a college graduate. When I first enrolled my projected graduating class was 150. 35 of us actually graduated. The rest now work at Speedway, Wal Mart, or are garbagemen, etc. They are the losers.

This 80 percent that I have been beating up on is a product of nature. One of natures most enduring policies are the survival of the fittest and the process of elimination. If an organism was unable to adapt, it ceased to exist. Now in the case of humans, us being the peculiar animals that we are, have free will, intelect, and self-awareness, unlike any other organism in Earthly existence. Some people use their free will to eat McDonalds and pig lard most their lives, or smoke cyanide laden cigarretes, or stress themselves out over factors that are perfectly within their control,  then they die. Nature obliges their destructive ways. Many people are bogged down in poverty because they choose to use their free will to purchase every peice of crap that tickles their fancy, rather than exercising one of the most Godly of traits (discipline) to provide a stable future for themselves and their families. Those debt laden, or Kentucky Fried Chicken stuffed losers then complain about their lot in life, and say things like “I wish”…when in reality THEY CAN.

Once you deny discipline and self control, your destiny defaults into natures hands, and you will die. And rightly so. It is the way of nature.
