Every pessimist already knows the great direction for perfection in life.
Born -> School -> Work -> Die
It's simple, brutal and true. The fact is, we're rats in a maze, all trying to get to the cheese. Everyone says they just want a good job, but this isn't true. No one wants a good job, most people don't want to work. The matter of the fact is, since birth we are taught the consequences we have to endure for lack of effort. If you don't try, you get nothing, which is fair. From this until our teenage years we are told we want a good job, and to convince us that we do, we learn the consequences that follow the jobless whether it's substance abuse or a marital corruption. But in reality, we don't end up just wanting a good job, no, we end up afraid, terrified that if we don't obtain this "good job" then we will be a failure.
Look at the homeless, that is the biggest consequence to having no job. Consistently through time, the homeless have been targets and examples. The only thing society values them as is a good punchline, and you know from grade school that you don't want to be the one picked on. Thus, out of fear you run through this maze of life just trying to get to the end. How often have you heard the cliche of someone hating their job and life? We are being held at gunpoint by the notorious "man" (sorry to get all hippie stoner bullshit on your internet asses) to get a job whether we like it or not. And the ones that would rather pursue their creative, emotional side in attempt to live a content life, are usually those whom fail.
Now, don't take what I say to the extreme. I'm not saying whoever isn't into art is soulless or anyone in a suit doesn't know what life is, if they really enjoy what they're doing whether they're a doctor or a janitor, I envy the fuck out of them. My point is, some individuals are pushed by society to get a PHD in biology when they want to do interior decorating, but so often, they are told their jobs aren't important.
On behalf of everyone who is put down because they are pursuing what makes them feel themselves, I say this to the manufactured bastards who push us, you can break our spines, gouge our eyes, and slit our wrists, but we will never smile for you.
