Something that's been bugging me all my life. Everywhere I go, whenever someone talks about their dreams and goals, they often have a moment where they feel that they should taunt others that didn't make it where they have. I myself have been guilty of this attitude in the past and all it does is risk alienating me from others, be it friends, family or even potential fans. Humans in a sense, deep down are competitive in nature, mainly because each one of us either thinks the world revolves around us or barring that we vow to make it so. Rich people buy up more land, so no one else can have any. Governments enforce laws every second, to make sure the next generation doesn't have it as easy as the previous. The classes below are no exception either. Because of envy and greed, the middle to lower classes are willing to do anything just to be noticed by those higher, let alone be one of them. Including killing those that stand in their way. No fucking joke.

Now I got nothing against competition. When it's friendly. When the insults are just all in good fun. I don't knock on those that see and enjoy the world that way. My main problem is that why is Life the most unfriendly competition in the history of everything?

Turns out I wasn't the only one that felt that way. There was a scene in John Carpenter's They Live where Nada and Frank argue about America's ideals in the 1980s. This was during the time when some people got sick of Reaganomics.

To put it lightly Nada before finding out the truth, was idealistic, believing that hard work would give him the chance to get on top and retire in peace. While Frank talks about life being a competition. He specifically mentions they put you at the starting line and the name of the game is "Make it through life." Only everyone is out for themselves and looking to do you in at the same time. That's what bothers me. People have this notion that to get ahead you have to hurt others simply because they are in your way.

When I started CIEIR, one of my main goals was to eliminate that bullshit. Kill it for good. I believe that every human being should have an easy life. How they get there is up to them, but at the same time I don't plan on leaving people behind or stepping on others in front of me to get here. If it takes to my fucking death, I will keep on going until I either get lucky or some snot nosed punks with that bullshit mentality decides I'm too big of a threat and tries to take me out.

Life shouldn't be about hurting each other, it should be about helping each other along the way, but that's just me.

What do you all think?
