The social world in the U.S. is a destructive place. Not in a sense of war and death; these things will never cease worldwide. Our society is destructive because of the inequalities we have weaved inside it. Those with the means have the advantages and those without are lost, uncounted, and shamed upon. Some say they should go to school, get a job, try harder. The funny thing is, these people say these things in passing; having reeped the rewards not afforded to other people. It is easy to stand up and say these things when you have the ability to put gas in your car without sacrificing food for the table. It is easy to say these things when you are having a good week, month, or year. What is not easy is knowing or understanding the words used. Many people speak without thinking and as a result others like them agree. This action is useless, meaningless, and full of tarnished and darked values. To speak of things which are of the unknown is the same as a claiming to have knowledge of donut making without ever visiting the place where donuts are made. As we will see, our society is evolving into an unholy place of division based on the idea that through hard work one can achieve anything. The individual who originally made this statement was well off and full of pride; separate from reality altogether.
Some say "dress for success". If this is true, then it is clear that what has occured lately by well dressed individuals is contrary to that statement; some of the biggest scumbags on the planet look like a million bucks. So, based on this fact, the well dressed individual is not always one who can be trusted. Success does not come through financial gain. Success comes through passionate persuits that bring forth a new reality that has never been touched by anyone else. It is as individualistic as the imagination. But the problem is, those who seek their joy often find friction from those who have abandoned their joy long ago for the inequities of our social world. They have made their choice to join with the many who prefer the material over themselves. They would rather look the part than be the part. The social world here in the U.S. is fiction based and it is a construction; fabricated and maintained through perceived natural divisions among people. Sadly, the greatest bastards who believe in hard work, have acquired their wealth through knowing people; acting like this or that; becoming the role, and have maintained that role in the eyes of those who got them there. These are the people who say things like: get a job, work harder; you can do anything; get off your ass, and so on and so forth. Our social world is destructive because it breeds dysfunction and inequality. It requires differences in class and it relies on the downtrodden to be used up and exploited for monitary gain for those who have more equity, money, and prestige.
