I don't wish I had a road with better opportunities; I wish everyone had greater access to those opportunities.
I feel guilty fighting with my fellow man. I feel guilty for out-doing my neighbour.
I feel... confused. Knowing that the key to monetary success in this world would require I turn into a person I could no longer be proud of. So I'd win, but I'd lose.
I feel angry, knowing that there are people in this world who knowingly work to make things harder for others.
But that's the world we live in.
I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the only true success in life is that which you create for yourself. Doing something you believe in. Providing for your family; contributing towards the community; making the world a better place. Everything else is just a proxy for that.
I am currently between jobs with nothing on the horizon, because I chose to leave a place, a career, that I felt was abhorrent. I don't know how it'll work out. I could end up as one of those statistics; an unemployed or underemployed graduate. But there's no other option but to keep on trucking - if you think you have potential, anything else is a waste.
