My perspective changed when I learned that the lives of the rich and the poor are not equal because in this world even if the poor lives in the right way and does the right thing but he still does not become successful in life unlike the rich who have more and more wealth on the surface of the world but I know that they are rich here in this world but they are not rich above where those who are proud are forced to be lifted up and those who humble themselves are forced to be brought down.
I just realized that it’s Friday the 13th — what a fitting day for this post! 😀 [1]
While growing up, I learned some things that seem sort of out of vogue today. One such cornerstone of my learning experience was an opposition to anything that reeks of dictatorship or similar mob actions. Freedom was very much about intellectual freedom. I have written about this time and again (if you want to read more about this, check out some of the links on the homepage 😉 ).
In contrast, life today appears to me as if it were all about being in alignment with Big Brother. [2] Whether turning on the tube to watch, listen and follow the newspeak or turning to the Pope of the Internet [3] for guidance, or whatever, … it seems like everywhere modern men and women are in chains … chained to some sort of propaganda system or other that dictates their lives, right down to their thoughts. [4] The propaganda engines have been finely tuned and employ some of the most sophisticated technology available to mobsters everywhere all over the world (as we know it). [5]
The regular individual is a nobody.
In order to be a somebody, you need many millions of followers. VC money. Rapper jewels. A White House. Something with street cred.
Opinions don’t do shit. There ain’t no algorithms for ideas. Like Vinnie Barbarino used to say: “gimme clicks, gimme clicks, gimmie clicks, …”.

[1] I actually started writing this on Thursday. and at the time thought about (but decided against) including footnotes. Today I changed my mind — if you want to read the “original” text only, then just disregard these footnotes! 😉

There is something exceptionally hilarious about corporate life. It’s a bubble of bullshit covered up by pleasantries and routine…kind of like Communism. Everybody shows up at their best game, pretending to give a shit about the company values and the goals the CEO set for the whole team, maybe freestyling the whole thing all day. Everybody engages in small talk and cracks a few jokes that are so dull you could just die inside. But the pay is good…

After I save up a lot, I would want to continue my studies because that is my dream to graduate with a degree. Age doesn’t matter and it is okay to continue studying even though I am going to be old soon. Lastly, I would like to learn more about my religion and be a better Muslim, Insya Allah. I want to earn more for my family and if I have family in future, I will want my future kids to live with ease. Hopefully I will achieve my goals one day.

I have not much clue about what I want, beyond being warm and healthy enough. Having easy access to nature. Some friendly people to interact and share with. A partner who is loving and trustworthy would be a bonus. And maybe another dog.

Some are expensive, while others are hard to wrap. I mean, how can someone possibly wrap a peace of mind. Where can you buy it? Or self-fulfillment, perhaps. How about a sense of purpose? What about clarity of mind or a clear headspace? I mean, is there a store selling any of those?
I want hope for my future so I can then give my children hope even though one is almost 28 and the other 21. I want to show them that I can break the cycle, I want to keep my promise to my grandma that I will not just let life happen and settle. She died with regrets and she did not want that for me, I promised her that I wouldn’t but I do not know how I can even think about doing it without money.
Lately we have really needed to change the way we live. I know I have developed terrible habits. When you just swipe a card and then voila, it’s payed for, I never felt the squeeze. But each transaction was my husband’s hard earned money being taken for granted. The finances began to cause more and more arguments, until my sweet husband just stopped telling me where we were at because he wanted me to have whatever I wanted. My ignorance and desire to keep up appearances was bringing us down a trap I was completely unaware I had been leading my family.
You can always work for money, but with happiness, it’s a lot harder to obtain. In my opinion, you have to constantly and consistently pursue it, cultivate and manifest happiness into your life. I love my family, my pets, my friends, crocheting/knitting, eating, traveling, learning languages and so much more. These things bring me happiness. They’re really simple things, but honestly, I think I a lot more simple compared to others. I just have to remind myself that it’s okay to be simple. I don’t have to work at the most famous company to be successful. I don’t have to have the perfect straight A’s to be considered smart (I lowkey dumb tho ahah). I don’t have to be someone else to be happy. I am me. I can’t change that, so I better start appreciating with what I have instead of restlessly pursuing something/someone that might not even make me happy, and even if it does, to reach 100% happiness is probably really impossible. So why not be happy with the things I have/the person I am now?
