For what?
The problem is human beings. Fucked up people.
Covid pandemic has showed how selfish and fucked up people are.
Everyone has their own agenda. Everyone is right. Everyone has their opinion we must follow.
Wear mask. Masks dont work. Covid is dangerous. Covid is just like a cold. Lockdowns stop covid. Lockdowns kill economy.
It extends to everything. Everyone is a genius.
I think the last bastion of sense is still the legal profession. You try messing with judges and lawyers see what happen to your sorry ass.
Nonsense, lawyers and judges also have to deal with stupid clients, third parties, colleagues, etc.
The best is traders in financial assets. Nowadays, everything can be done online. Don’t even need to call broker to get a price. Open account or transfer funds can be also be done online. The most go to the broker’s reception to show them your id and address proof and that’s all the human contact you are going to have.
As far as others’ opinions are concerned, my stance is simple:
- every Tom, Dick and Harry has an opinion, which means opinions are a dime a dozen and don’t mean a thing, truth is more important than opinion including my own
- not everybody’s opinion matter, will you listen to a plumber’s opinion about the state of electric wiring in your house or an electrician’s opinion about the state of your water pipes? choose which opinions to pay hind to and which to throw in the rubbish bin
- if it is an opinion you can’t ignore eg your boss’ idiot opinion about work matters or wrong public opinion that has somehow become law, then find a way to go around it, minimise its impact on you, go live somewhere else (know that you will meet a lot of stupid and nasty people there too, but at least it’s got beautiful mountains, fresh air, and of course a fast and reliable internet connection), etc
- killing yourself because you can’t stand the truth that most people on this earth are stupid and nasty makes you weak and stupid, the truth hurts but it must be told
