I just found a bag outside my house. Inside are some dude's mobile phone/ wallet + 2 credit cards. His phone is unlocked.
Not going to lie, I went through it. SMS, photos, notes. It's been really insightful into the life and workings of an ordinary man. Here are the notables:
One of his notes "get they are government controlled and I am just in the system and helpless".
Determined's notes: (This might sound a bit mean but it's the hard cutting truth) It seems even an average joe (or "John" in this case) will attempt to alleviate the burden of personal ownership by trying to pass the buck. I'm starting to see the futility in hope and hopelessness. I remember very clearly a member here posting how he'd been "posted to a remote office and he hoped (by some long shot) that a hottie would walk in one day". I'm starting to recognise that "hope" is just a signal from the subconscious to keep going, even if it's message is complete BS. "Opiate for the masses" is my conclusion. If things are shitty in your life, you have only to pull yourself up by your overalls (me included) to get shit done. Do not delude yourselves.
Good man !! Well said Determined i could not have said it better myself.
