TeenHelp - Work & Thieves

I'm hard working, and writhe with rage at the thought of someone thinking I have an inherent duty to give them anything because I have "more" than they do. I avoid even thinking about it to stay healthy. It's theft. I've gone sometimes 3 nights without sleep working my arse off to get multiple projects done on time, for what? For some self-entitled layabout to profit from it? Someone who didn't have the initiative to push themselves the way I did? When university fees in the UK rose to £10,000 a year... to look abroad instead of blaming and swearing at the immigrants, government and bankers? To get up almost every day at 5 or 6am? And on top of it find the time to go to the gym every day? And keep up with family housework/various court proceedings that I've recently had to. Shoot these people in the iris, pls. I don't mind helping people, and I even enjoy it and do so proactively and often... but someone who thinks they're entitled to my pockets because I have "more" than they do, has no purpose. Simply. Such a person is a scrounger and a thief. They're entitled to their opinion, it's a democracy after all. But make a move on me, and I'll loose my shoe so far up that person's arse that it'll come outa their mouth with the guts attached.

Picture that, the focus and drive it takes to push yourself 3 nights to get something done on time to a 5.0 grade, after loosing all the work you've put in over the past 3 months, instead of giving up and getting drunk over it (I thought about doing it). And that's just a little piece of it. Now picture that focus and drive turned against someone who thinks they're entitled to help themselves to your profits afterwards. It's roadkill. That person's fucked if they do it.

The only thing standing between such a person and myself is my own common sense. What would I gain from loosing my shit? Usually nothing. It's better to let some things go, I know. But it's a matter of how personal it is and whether or not I'll be able to control myself.

Taking from others and shallowly justifying it by saying that they have "more" than you and it's "not fair". Or taking from others who have less than you saying that it's because "they're weak". Both sides of the coin are the same bullshit. They're pretexts. You're just an asshole that will find any excuse. The problem isn't the money. The problem is you. You lack respect for other people's basic democratic rights. I can find it in myself to forgive someone for such a comment if they're relatively young and don't even know what they're talking about, but I swear at the parents from whom that child probably heard it. There comes an age when people are responsible for their own actions and views.

I don't even think I've had it hard. If there's any reason why I "have it hard" it's because I make it hard on myself. There are plenty of people born into far worse situations than I was. I wouldn't even say I was born into a "bad situation". I'm not going to pose as a hard-ass here. I've had some bad things happen on the way, but these things and worse happen to a lot of people. I look at those people and realize that what I go through isn't even a small piece of birdshit in comparison. Then I look at those people who do nothing but make excuses, and they make me sick.
