Wasted potential.

There is nothing worse than when somebody has all the tools, all the opportunities, and still manages to do nothing with it. I live my life under the motto that I can do anything I set my mind to, and it's a shame that very few people seem to share my point of view. People whine and complain that life isn't fair instead of actually going out into the world and trying. I have never blamed anyone else for my shortcomings in my entire life, something that can not be said for most others.

I didn't have an easy life, I was born to a single mother in a poor neighbourhood. Even though she had no money to spend on me, Mom taught me that I could do great things. She told me if I only believed in myself that I could accomplish anything.

So I did.

People tried to tell me I wouldn't amount to anything, but I never let it get to me. I knew, deep down, that I would succeed in life. All it took for me to become the man that I am today was to focus on the task at hand and believe I could do it.

That is why this new generation of lazy, entitled brats really gets under my skin. I worked for everything I had in life, absolutely nothing was handed to me. I worked for everything I have and never complained once. These kids today think they can ask for things and never put in the work. It disgusts me.

I have come to grips with the fact that our world is doomed. With the horrid leaders we have today and the incoming crop of brain-dead children to replace them in the future, we have no hope. I believe that in 10 years our planet and every living thing on it will be dead. This is the sad reality I have come to accept.

This revelation haunted me at first, but I have come to peace with it. When we inevitably blow each other up I can die knowing that none of this is my fault. If only more people were like me.
