This has been around for literally years as the article itself states. They keep reposting it just changing the year in the first sentence. It’s that good an article. For me personally it was instrumental to getting my shit together last year, and it inspired me to go from obese to normal weight as well as constantly work on self-improvement. Highly recommend it. It’s got a pretty bleak view of humanity at its core, but it’s a harsh truth and sometimes those are what you need.

This is incredibly good content, and I agree that it echos many observations I’ve made myself. In my own words from a journal entry I wrote almost three years ago:
   “… I hate their work, but I resent them more because I never proved to anyone that I could do better.”

During the last 2 years I’ve focussed extensively on self improvement. Much of what is mentioned here aligns with observations I’ve made, or things I’ve read and then confirmed through experience. My life is better than ever for knowing these types of things. Things go two ways. When you know what the world expects from you, you can expect things from the world too.
