WE ARE THE 1 PERCENT

Yea, I guess I should have taken the high-road and laid off the condescending tone that the other side has taken. Let me attack the issue from a different perspective: Acceptance (the final stage).

Having money and luxuries is overrated. Live frugally and accept your place in society. Happiness is relative. A poor person can be happier than a rich person if he just remembers to stay positive. A rich person can be unhappy when things don’t go their way. For example, their grass is not green enough or a bird pooped on their Bentley. See? It’s all relative. Just be happy with what you have and if you can’t get it, then either work for it or accept that you can’t get it. Don’t go protesting and disrupting other people’s work because you can’t get what you want. Heck, I can’t play in the NBA because I’m too short. Does that mean that I should start protesting on the streets? Just like how protesting will not make me taller, protesting will not make you smarter, more hard working, or create more jobs. The protesting is counter-productive. What has been accomplished with the protesting? All I see is the police wasting their time monitoring the protests when they could be out fighting crime. And all I see is a bunch of able-bodied people who could be out doing work and making money, but instead waste their time camping out on streets. It’s time to accept the life that was given to you. I have accepted that I can’t play in the NBA by protesting. Maybe it’s time that you should accept that you will not get richer by protesting.
