Drop in Intelligence

Your right, I already sort of use it to my advantage, but I don't want to exploit it or be too selfish about it.

I have had people complain to my how bad their life is, how tired they are, how NOT in control they are.

But I know for a fact: I CAN be in control and I WILL be in control.

I now view it as a personal choice, whether you allow yourselves to be governed or not.

You are spot on with what you say. I struggle, being a single mom with two kids in tow, with how I am going to handle the situations that could and probably will arise. I talk about it with those I feel closest and safe enough to discuss such things but ultimately, I know that I alone am responsible for how I react in any given situation, whatever it may be.

You make a lot of great points in this thread.

Thank you very much for mentioning that you know that you are ultimately responsible. I wish there were more people like you in this world.

Many lawsuits, arguments, and other conflicts occur merely because one cannot or will not take responsibility for an action. If everyone claimed for there actions and words, this world would start to because a better place.

Here's what those playing 'the game' (barf), have to look forward to.

Very Interesting, give you credit on finding that. Yup, that is what the world is going to turn into to. A bunch of helpless, unintelligible people. People who cannot make decisions for themselves.

We can already see it in our society today. Big corporations making decisions for us.
