Post 56: They Want to Hold Me Down!

Have you ever met an individual who is actively trying to screw people?

My answer is yes. I have. When I do find them, I have tried to cut those people out of my life. It is very rare though. Racking my brain, I can think of one person in my life I have cut out for this reason.

Have you ever met a group of people that are purposefully trying to screw people?

My answer is no. I have not. I have never found any evidence of even just two people working together with the intent of screwing others.

I will give the caveat that people do this ignorantly. By that I mean, they don’t realize they are screwing people until after the people have already been screwed. Or they are actively trying to support one group of people, and don’t think about the other group (or groups) of people who will be screwed because of it.

This makes it really hard for me to believe that there is ever a “they” who is out there trying to get me, or hold me back, or keep me down. I do believe there are over eight billion people who don’t even know I exist and therefore don’t think about how what they are doing is going to affect me. By the same definition of “don’t know I exist” they are not actively working against me.
