Nope - that's why I said I really don't know much about the demographics that live there, how they're qualified, who decides where they're built, regulations, etc.
This is sort of my thought process. It's similar to the archaic process of doing post-docs after you finish a PhD. "I went through hell for 2 years, so now you have to"
If you have the opportunity and work ethic to achieve great things, thats badass dixon...if others are given a different turn of events, good for them - no?
Why must we ask for everyone to travel such a similar path? I'm not religious myself but most republicans call themselves Catholic or something - imagine if Jesus expected his disciplines and followers to follow a similar path to earn their place in heaven? . . . the holes in that logical stance are gaping man.
I genuinely think you'd benefit from a book called Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. There's some other good essays by Seneca, etc but Meditations or even A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine. Stoic Philosophy can be a really powerful compass as to how you may navigate life. Only seeking to do your own best, letting others be, focusing on what is in your control, etc.
I don't recommend it condescendingly, I genuine think you'd enjoy it and may benefit from it. I know the stoics along with many of the Zen/Hindu books have really opened me up to a more mindful and compassionate way of life as our society continues to succumb to materialistic and superficial ways.
