| The Rat Race is basically the endless pursuit of | | | | over computers any day (Especially the majority of |
| excessive and ultimately unnecessary work. In simple | | | | those who are 30 years or older) . Simply because |
| terms, it means that the lab rat (That's You) is | | | | You simply need to only flip channels to get the |
| running as fast as he/she/it can to escape the wheel | | | | show you want and simply relax on your bed and be |
| it's bound to. What the rat seems to not understand | | | | lazy (Yes, most adults, especially the older ones, are |
| is that it's meaningless to run forward (Which is all | | | | too lazy to type on a keyboard). |
| that rat knows how to do at the moment) , for that | | | | Another little fact of life is that people are taught |
| only empowers the wheel (Those whom are close to | | | | that most of the things that happen cannot be |
| You whom want nothing more than to see you fail | | | | properly controlled by them. When others say this, |
| to accomplish Your goals). You must stop what You | | | | people end up giving away control of their life either |
| are currently doing and get off the wheel, only then | | | | some talking head on the Television or some Boss |
| will You start having success in Your life. Of course, | | | | that said person works for. And with that, most |
| everyone around You will be doing everything | | | | people then happily give up any hopes they have of |
| possible to discourage You from stopping the wheel | | | | Success in trade for a fixed, comfortable (Or so |
| that drives everything that will make You fail. | | | | those people think) life. |
| Everyone is in the Rat Race for several reasons. | | | | A little known piece of information is that people |
| 1. They want to conform to the current Status Quo | | | | (Especially children, babes and young teenagers) are |
| so that they don't need effort to run their lives (Of | | | | taught negative ideas by it being put into their head |
| course, if You aren't in control of Your life, then | | | | by someone else (I assure You, this type of person |
| someone else is). | | | | wants to harm You either physically and/or mentally |
| 2. They were taught from Day 1 that they have no | | | | (Sometimes both!)). This is most likely the case with |
| control over their fate and more Importantly, nobody | | | | any type of schooling (Yes, even home schooling, as |
| ever taught said people how to Improve themselves | | | | parents also want their children to become failures in |
| and thus, said people are likely to be forever stuck | | | | life, just like they were!) as someone else is drilling |
| never knowing what to do to Improve themselves. | | | | into Your head information that I can assure You is |
| 3. It was beaten into them and/or constantly drilled | | | | going to become useless very quickly. Basically put, |
| into their heads since birth. Either one is blatant abuse | | | | the Education system was created to mentally abuse |
| of an individual and sadly, it happens everywhere, all | | | | children (Sometimes adults too!) into accepting failure |
| the time (I can assure You that parents and other | | | | and rejecting Success! |
| authority figures do it all the time whether they | | | | In conclusion and relating to the previous 3 steps, |
| know that they are doing it or not). | | | | those whom have Potential are sought out, brought |
| 4. They accept it as truth that they will never get | | | | up by those around him/her, and via constant mental |
| anywhere in life (This part is related to part 3) | | | | abuse to the completely unwitting and naive person, |
| because everyone else told them so. | | | | brought down so hard that he/she now gives in and |
| Let's face it, people don't like to put any effort at all. | | | | literally accepts that he/she is a failure, and from |
| If it means doing something that is ultimately | | | | there, all potential that person had is vanquished, |
| meaningless, then people will do it. This is why people | | | | never to be seen again. From that point on, All |
| are so uneducated, simply because they have been | | | | activities said person does are completely |
| conditioned (Largely thanks to the massively corrupt | | | | meaningless in life (In layman's terms: That person |
| Education system worldwide, especially in America) to | | | | lost everything that made him/her unique, and |
| accept the belief that anything that requires effort is | | | | became a nobody, just like those whom insulted said |
| not even worth doing at all. And of course, this is | | | | person). |
