Uncommon Squalor

Saturday, October 2, 2010 I try not to let it get to me too much if someone views me as their competitor to be defeated and stepped on. Most people seem to lack the kind of talent that would lift them out of the proverbial rat race. If you have some kind of stimulating passion like art or music, your only competitor is essentially yourself. You are oblivious to the aggression of those around you, while they assume that you are out to step on them. To me, the phrase, I want to be better off than you, offers zero inspiration. Motivation is not the same as inspiration. My humble occupation up to this point, with which I have been satisfied, even with my talent lying dormant because of it, ought to prove that I'm the furthest thing from a social climber. It simply does not interest me to try to get ahead of the next person. I am an artist. That may be why I've not risen beyond entry level in my job[s]. With so many people in the world unable to find something better than motivation to keep them going, it's natural that their aggression would be more developed than it ought to be. I hope my presence among them will ultimately offer them some kind of relief.
