Mistake from the Past: Should have learned my place in society earlier

Like most of your here, I was an idiot when I was young. I thought the world is a paradise where "I can do anything I set my mind to" (like one of those Eminen's songs).

Well, good news, ladies and gentlemen, my statement is not true at all. What I should have done is I should have correctly valued myself in this world (as in "valuation") and have learned my place earlier. Once you can do that, you have something, some plan that shows steps you have to climb up to better yourself.

Sometimes it's hard to learn your place in society, I will tell you, because no one likes to be told that you can't even get a minimum wage job. No one likes to be told that you are not smart enough to do what you want to do. To reflect yourself and learn yourself when you are young means confronting your weaknesses, what you don't have and what you can't have no matter how hard you try (because that ship has already sailed).

The faster you learn about your weaknesses, the better your life is because you will stop banging your head against the brick wall. You will turn either way and find your way of getting around the wall.

And my view remains, if you do keep thinking that everyone is equal no matter what, you will fail. Equality is a difficult concept, is that equal rights, equal opportunity, equal wealth, equal possessions? It's impossible to define. It's better to assume that everyone is -un-equal, if that expression makes sense, everyone's circumstance is uniquely informed.

An interesting observation is that we converge as we grow old. And we converge accordingly to our wealth. By that time, we are so different, we are so divided, one quantifiable thing that brings us together is wealth. If we can segregate the population by wealth, we are surprisingly similar.

Another argument to support positive discrimination by wealth.
