I don't have a reason to get up in the morning. That used to be a great way to live. Now it's just sad. It will be another 3 weeks before any of my energy will be put to proper use. I'm taking an American Sign Language class at my local community college, while looking for, well, any work. The goal is to be an ASL Translator in about one year's time. I've been chained to a few desks in my life. Chained being the correct word. So many of us think slavery has ended, but they fail to see work desks and bills for the shackles that they are.
I do not have it within me to continue living in such a manner. Waking at dawn, dragging myself to work, wasting the day, and dragging myself back home, making just enough money to be broke, while making someone else rich. But that's me. I look at the world and see it for what it is, wrong. It's all backwards. I'm not the only one though. The following quote is from Michael Ellner:
“Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.”
Being an ASL Translator may not make me rich, but I will be in much greater control of my own life. I will not be bound by the decisions of the people above me, because there will be no one above me.
