For the last year and nine months I have been in a long night of angst. Since I was in school in the daytime to pursue my philosophy degree; I took a job which had both a boon and a curse. The boon was that it was a job in the nighttime where I was making good money at a very opportune time (while I was getting my degree). The curse was the horrible working environment. When the leaders of any organization lack the intelligence to look at complex situations and factor them into solvable pieces, and then are unable to create the policies necessary for that organization to flourish, they justify their positions by projecting blame and degrading the people underneath them. This curse is also magnified when the one who is at the top is a petty and insecure man who creates policies based upon his twisted psychological outlook rather than what will cause the organization to thrive.
Now the situation has changed, I have quit my job, and have a degree in philosophy with a 4.0 major GPA. I have studied philosophy for many years now independently, but I had a strong desire to “make it official”, that is the reason why I got the degree. My goal now is to now pursue the projects that make my life meaningful, and also get a job that uses my skills that are both innate and learned.
With this being said, I value the good aspects of this last year and nine months, both the friends from work and school, and the teaching from my professors. For all of the vile and disgusting people of this past I direct this curse, as you fade from my memories, I hope that all the blessings Tyche gives you only raises you higher, so that when Nemesis strikes, you will fall down longer and harder.
I will now end with a quote from Socrates, and in the next post, I will explain the reason and purpose of this blog.
Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, make me beautiful within, and grant that what-ever happens outside of me will help my soul to grow. May I always be aware that true wealth lies in wisdom, and may my "gold" be so abundant that only a wise man can lift and carry it away. For me that is prayer enough.- Socrates
