you improve society by improving yourself.

I choose to not be one of the 66% of Americans that are overweight/obese, I choose have money rather than be in debt, and etc. I could have not made these choices. Tomorrow I can stop working out ever again and start spending all my money ratting shitty food that will make me fat, sad, and miserable all the time. I should do that, and then sit around telling everyone how 'society' made me do it!! That will be so much better than being a responsible functional person!

Other folks make other choices. Seen many of my friends over the years become fat indebted miserable people, and I then choose to no longer socialize with them.

Nobody forced them to eat shitty food, spend all they money on stupid crap, and then never take responsibility for their choices.

Who exactly forced my friends to make those choices for them? who forced them to say, spend $15,000 traveling per year, rather than saving it in their bank account? as far as i can tell nobody did. they did that to themselves. not to mention the handful who decided drugs and crime were better than going to college and getting a job, because 'work is too hard' and getting high and stealing shit is 'easy'. until you get caught, of course.

and thus they become yet another statistic of 'society'. but hey, fuck me right, i just like contribute to my community with taxes, volunteer work, and participating in local politics. What a piece of shit human being I am! clearly I should stop being such an awful selfish prick, and I should just get fat, sit around and whine about the government being mean to me, and do nothing to make the world a better place, because what is the point of ever making an effort in life when you can make none and complain and then die of heart disease at 50.

life tip man. pay off your debts and get your shit together. nobody is going to do it for you. it's your choice to improve yourself and your world, or to sit around being a whiny entitled cunt of a human being. I understand though, that the latter options is far more popular and makes you more friends, because that's certainly what most folks choose to do. mean while looking down and harassing good hard working folks because they are so sad, bitter, and jealous.
