Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Two, Dateline 8-10-2018
/
“The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.”
Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. I think this might be the first Friday in months that I didn't feel like I was on the verge of quitting my day job while in a blind rage over their mind game. I think I said this earlier in the week but, right after last Friday's Daily Breaker post, my work sent out a mass email clarifying that the accuracy rate that could lead to our firing is base on periodic tests and not for our daily audits. This information eased my nerves instantly leading this work week to seem like a breeze.
On top of that, I'm also in a much better mood because, for the second week in a row, I implemented a new rule where the day job gets priority on Fridays so that the rest of the day, I can focus on having fun. Sure that fun mainly involved blogging with deadlines but that's what I like to do with my free time. It also feels extra nice to not have any non-personal obligations until Monday.
Now that I've explained my later/happier start to my blogging day, let's get into the assignments that I'm here to report on. Yesterday, I was supposed to explore a quote from Lily Tomlin that pretty much talked about how people often like to complain with statements like "Why isn't someone doing anything about this," when talking about issues, only to act like their not a someone who should be putting in more efforts themselves.
As I've mentioned many times in the past, as someone who was raised by alcoholics and enablers, this type of behavior is our default. The alcoholics seemed to like to ramble on about all of their problems with everyone else's faults to add to their reasons to drink. Meanwhile, the enablers truly meant well when complaining about legitimate issues but were too afraid to end up in the alcoholic's line of fire to put in the true effort even attempt to actively make a change.
I fall somewhere in the middle, where I like to live in altered states to escape the real world but in my case, I've given up all hope in the rest of the world and just want to hide while I continue to try to find inner peace. I'd like to think that if I ever got to the point where I felt there was a point to existence and had the power to be heard, I'd be more active in sharing how I went from being a nihilist to a person who pushes putting in the effort.
I know, nothing will ever change if everyone thinks this way, but I'm supposed to be an anomaly by using this line of thinking yet here we are anyway. This probably adds to my jadedness more than anything. I'm an accepting Atheist who's seen nothing be intolerance from my peers who believe when they're the ones who are supposed to have love for all of mankind. I'm also an independent voter who gets called a Nazi for not fully agreeing with one side while, at the same time, getting called a fragile snowflake for not fully agreeing with the other.
Meanwhile, all that I want is world peace, and for someone to step in to slow down the rapping of the world for its resources for greed over necessity. In this day and age with the technology we have, if we were to work together and stop hoarding wealth we could have this so-called heaven on Earth and not just in the homes of executive and leaders who act like they can barely make ends meet.
If the leadership wasn't bad enough, the fact that all of us who are fighting for scraps still by into the lies being pushed by those who claim that the suffering is worth the reward when they've never faced any real-life struggles at all. Yeah, they may relate to relationship issues and whatnot but not the day to day nuances of the people who are really struggling just to live.
With all of that said, though I don't feel like I have a voice when it comes to big-picture problems, I do really hope that this page inspires the people who read it who don't feel they have a voice to switch things up and focus on achieving their dreams to potentially build an audience that would give them the platform to promote a world where we work together without as much need for the shady leadership who don't actually have the people interest in mind.
Alright, that's all that I've got for that subject, now let's move on to today's task where I'm supposed to break this cycle and reach out to others to offer help. I guess I kind of already did that in a way but you'll have to wait for tomorrow's update to see how I feel I fulfilled the assignment. Until then, it's now time for me to sign off as usual by saying, good day and good luck to you and all of your projects.
Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
