I was plagued by this question: why is life so hard, especially when it comes to making money and such? Like, why don't we live in a reality where a person can just think really hard for a few days, make a plan, then execute it and then make a lot of money?
And through that silly and childish line of thinking, I finally understood. This reality we live in is all about the social aspect. One individual alone can't do shit. Proof to that is that most smart people don't really become rich. It's not about that, a high IQ doesn't get you money necessarily. A high IQ doesn't mean you can produce anything of value that people will pay for. This reality is so difficult and hard to do anything in, that even smart people can only do so much by themselves (I'm not talking about Tesla or Einstein or other notable exceptions).
So that's why life is seems so hard to me. I'm an introverted person, "antisocial". I couldn't see this obvious thing because of that.
It really is upsetting. I wish we lived in a world where if a person made a plan and put in some work, they could become rich and then take it easy. But no, we live in an extrovert's world where success is all about being good at the social aspect of life. Cause this reality is so brutal that one individual alone can't do anything worthwhile, not in this day and age anyway. So the way to success isn't through an introvert's preferred way, just hunkering down and working hard on something, it's through being good at extracting profit out of people and crawling up to the top by treading on others. And I'm just not made for that.
