Nobody Is Coming To Save You (And That Is Actually Okay)

[Ultegra134]

Don't expect anything and from anyone, especially the government; just like Michael Jackson said, "They don't care about us". The rich always have a head-start, those who weren't that fortunate in life are going to have a hard time. It doesn't necessarily mean that if you were lucky enough to be born in a wealthy environment, you'll have a good life, but you have much better chances than someone who's starting from ground zero. We should only rely on ourselves, develop skills, maturity and self-control, you won't get far with 9-5 in terms of money, unless you're okay with the "safety" it provides.

[Cryptomultiplier]

You deserve more merits OP, because you explicitly defined the situation of things in today's current society and we see how prices keep rising without any government help or aid to alleviate poverty.

As a young person, it is good to always think outside the box, and this box is outside the scope of the knowledge you already acquired. The goal is to find an income stream and when the steps to achieve this is sorted out, the goal of financial independence and a whole new door of opportunity suddenly opens up beyond our greatest imagination.

The oldies these days have a huge problem with seeing a young man or woman work remotely, because they are bent on the 9-5 jobs as the only means to earning besides learning regular journeyman skills. A forum like this, working for Amazon, trading full-time and other remote jobs online has helped straighten the line and so many persons now seek other well paying means too with the rise in AI tech and web3 and cryptocurrency as the bedrock.

The truth hurts but it always needs to be said, no one is coming to save anyone and that's a fact, we are the saviour of ourselves and we are the ones that determines how the story of our life would go. Some people do things hoping that they would be saved by others especially when it is their family members. No one is going to save you so the earlier you start working on yourself the better

[topbitcoin]

All of us when we were younger would have thought the same thing where we would have stayed awake because the government would have been able to make us comfortable with our existing jobs and we would have lived according to what we imagined comfortably.
But such a condition is too beautiful for the life we live because such a scenario is the more mature and the more mature our thinking is, the more we will realize the slap of the harsh real world.
So by looking at the current situation we should know that it is too naive to wait for help from other parties including the government because we can only depend on ourselves as a form of survival that must be done when we want life to go well.

[Yamifoud]

Basically, nothing will be as easy and beautiful as you think. People won't care, and only you can help you. It's bitter and sad, but that's life. You'll only get there if you're willing to move.
But perhaps some people start from a more accessible position, such as heirs from wealthy backgrounds. They're a step above you, especially in terms of capital, which will make it easier for them to move forward and try. But as long as we're willing to try and move, nothing is impossible.

Life is hard and full of challenges, that's given already. But if you know how to navigate your life well, despite of lack of opportunities and life's privileges, you will continue to thrive. Just keep on moving, and be more motivated to hit your goals in life, if you stay that way, you will always have something to achieve in the future.

The world may be cruel for us, the government may not extend help, the people around may not be there for us, that's why we need to stand on our own and be independent. If you can stand on your own, there's no reason that you can't stand throughout the challenges in life.

[Vaculin]

This is the reality. The government isn't responsible for us, but we are responsible of our own selves. So if you tend to be lazy all the time and just wait for the government's assistance, you will only wait in vain. The government may help us, but we are not their responsibility. Instead, we should learn to be responsible on our own, and do things without expecting help from the government.

In the end, those who are responsible and hard working will live and succeed, but those who are overly dependent to other people, or to the government, they will continue to live a hard and tough life.

[Bitcoin.com97]

That is our sad reality, nobody is coming to save you but you , you have to work your ass out to get the life you desire, government is not coming for us or willing to help , every man for himself, while growing up we thought life will be easy for us but as  young adults we have come to terms that we are fully responsible for our well being, if you don’t work hard , them get ready to serve people who work smart and hard , this is our reality.

[slapper]

I suppose this is why so many of us have ended up here, in spaces like this forum. We are people who quit waiting. We saw that the old paths are overcrowded and the gates are closing. So we began walking through the forest instead. It is harder. There is no map. But at least we are moving.

The challenge is that after some of us have joined in criticizing systems that are not favorable to us and in the long run we happen to own a system that we influence, we still make it hard for people that are coming behind by also failing to provide the things we lacked and in the process, the chain continues again and again and again.

having the mentality that you are on your own is a good way to free yourself from unnecessary entitlement but at the same time, we need to also hold certain people that are responsible for solving the problems of the society accountable so they stand up to what they should do and not feel that because everyone will eventually sort himself out that there is no need helping others make life a bit easier for them. life is not designed to be as hard as we are taking it but unfortunately, we have all become really selfish and are actually paying little attention to things that does not benefit us directly.

People become what they previously hated. This happens all the time. In theory, I agree that, we do need to hold certain people accountable. But who exactly? And how? I have watched people go their whole lives waiting to be held accountable for something that never was. They waited for governments to give a damn. They waited for companies to be fair. They waited for society to see them. And while they were waiting, years passed. Nothing changed.

I am not saying that accountability is not important. I am saying that the cost of waiting for it is expensive. It costs time. It costs energy. It costs hope. And the people we are waiting for? They are not waiting for anything. They are building and taking and moving.

You said it shouldn't be this difficult to live. Maybe. But I stopped asking what life was "designed" to be. I began to ask what I can do with the life I actually have. Not because I gave up on other people. But because I stopped giving other people power over my future.

Perfect! That is what life is about. Not because we agree or because we would like it worked this way. It's simply about thinking rationally, critically and seeing reality how it is, without masks, disguises or fake speeches by political entities.

You know the game, you know its guidelines, but you also have free will, what means you aren't forced to follow what this world or society tries to impose on you. There are gaps on this game, and Bitcoin has been one of them. And by gaps, I don't mean something shady, criminal or unethical. Actually, the system works and acts in shady, criminal and unethical ways as part of the game.

We do the opposite. We try to survive and thrive by alternative means, while not becoming slaves of the system. One hint for people who are trying to see ahead in jobs market and finances is to avoid the crowds. Job fields everyone is, and jobs matters everyone is talking about aren't promising anymore, as it's a potential evidence the method is getting dried quite fast.

You say avoid the crowds. I understand this. But here is my question. You know, how do you know when you are avoiding the crowd and when you are alone and wrong? Sometimes the crowd is stupid. Sometimes the crowd knows something you do not. The trick is knowing the difference. And that is a very difficult skill to develop, especially when you are already outside the system at the moment and there is no feedback other than your own brain.

Also, you say we have free will. I believe this too. But free will needs options. A person who works for 12 hours a day just to pay rent, a person who does not save, does not have a network or information, does not the person have a free will? Or have the illusion of choice inside a very small box? I think the system is smart. It does not take directly away your freedom. It simply just renders the alternatives invisible or impossible.

I am not disagreeing with you. I am just saying the game is even more challenging than it looks. And maybe that is why places such as this are important. We share what we see. We make seeable for each other what is invisible.

Well, it's something we all learn as we start to get mature and observe things around us. Almost all of us must have had different perceptions about things than they actually turned out, and there is nothing wrong with that because you will only truly understand and know something if you live through it, and that's how we learn most of the things in this world. The knowledge that is transferred to us through words is only half the reality we should know, and the other half is acquired through experience.

It's true that we are on our own in this world, and there is no way we are going to get help at any point in life whether it's our academic life, professional life, or personal life; you will need to manage everything yourself, you will have to learn, adapt, and change according to situations because you can't change everything else, so the only option is to change yourself accordingly. You can't ask others to compromise on things, so you will have to compromise instead, and when it comes to help, no one will be there for you forever, so it's better that we learn to live by ourselves instead of being reliant on others.

I respect what you are saying because I can feel that it is coming from real experience. But I think that you took the lesson too far. Yes, we learn through living. Yes, nobody will save us. Yes, we have to adapt. All true. But you said "no one will be there for you forever" and "you will have to compromise instead". That sounds more like someone who got hurt and decided to never need anyone again.

I have been there. I know that feeling. But I also learned something else. Being self-reliant does not mean being alone. It means that you stop waiting on permission. It means that you're selective when choosing your people rather than trusting anyone and everyone. It means you build with other people who also know that the system is not coming to help.

If you think no one will ever help you out, you will repel the people who would. And then, your belief is true, but only because you made it true.

[MFahad]

There's no roadmap to live in this world.

Many people including myself feel lost because there's no roadmap what we have to do after finish a college and get a job. I think most people have a difficulty to choose when they have a job based on the degree they took when they were in college.

But, having no roadmap is also good because we can do whatever we want without any limit, we can change our career or build a small business.

there is no roadmap for living in this world. Man learns many things slowly over time. After coming into this world first basic goal is education and we moves from school to college after completing our education. After earning degree from college or university person gets a job through. this degree where our life really begins. As time passes man understands purpose of coming into life. Some people have to make a choice after getting a degree so its better to plan and get a degree that will not make you feel embarrassed looking for job because this choice are very important for life. Its better to not have roadmap for life that we do not have to live within any limits and can make our own choices, whether its job or a business.

You might have possibly been in the wrong circle at first for you not to have discovered this earlier. Though you don't have to build hope in  something that's unreached because you might be cut short of your expectations in the long run. I think the moment you start having that mindsets and make use of any opportunities that comes you'll do alot better. But then don't get it twisted cause there are people that actually look out for others so they can benefits as well but better still make good efforts in doing well for yourself rather than depending on anyone for help cause they might not reach out when you think.

[Furious 7]

Then I began paying attention. I saw that the places that need it most receive the least help. I witnessed how more often than not, training programs are cut first when money is tight. I saw that the companies want "ready-made" workers but don't like to create them. I saw that the gap between rich places and poor places is getting bigger, not smaller. And I realized something that changed the way I thought about everything. The system is not broken. It is operating just as designed. But it just was never made for people like us.

I like the last sentence in this paragraph because it is completely true.
We think of many things in order to build profits even if they are small in the current conditions when in fact we seem to be playing and being played by the “hands of power” that have been designed in such a way by those behind the scenes.

The system is not wrong but indeed we will not be too suitable for a system that has been built by prioritizing one thing where those who have power and thicken the strata in terms of economics which is impossible for us to catch up and compete in the end.
It has become an unavoidable situation where we can only follow a system that will never benefit us but this makes the existing order in this world harmonize their version.

[JoyMarsha]

Understanding and accepting the reality that nobody is coming to save you will save one a lot of disappointment when the government fails to do what they are supposed to do in providing basic needs.

I think it's been a long time since many individuals had to let go of the mentality of the government providing their needs for them. As the government can't provide for the needs of everyone at the same time. No need to wait for the government to do that, when someone is not physically challenged, they have brain and hands to make out something for themselves no matter how little it.

[Jatiluhung]

At another level, you will also understand that nowadays there is no one we can truly trust. This is because more people now want to be great or selfish. And most of them have lost their empathy. Empathy is one of the things that makes us worthy of being called good human beings. With empathy, we can even make this world more peaceful and tranquil. Understanding, helping, and forgiving one another. All of this is very much needed in this era. But in reality, all of that is gradually disappearing.

The same is true in the world of business and economics. Now we must learn to be independent. And strive to be pioneers. Never expect help from others. Because expecting help from others will only weaken our own determination, which is actually stronger than we imagine. And in today's world, where empathy has diminished, how can we still expect others to care about us? So, it's better to focus on making ourselves better than others. Keep learning and developing skills that make us multi-talented. Because I believe that multi-talented people will always find ways to improve their own economy, and there will even be many people who will come to hire their expertise.

[Hypnosis00]

We all don't want to be called weak and irresponsible, so we have to stand strong and independently. Nobody is coming to save us, even our family have also their own struggles in life, much more to the government where the people is just the second priority, the leaders will always prioritize taking advantage for their own benefits and satisfaction, despite knowing that its the people resources that they are already stealing.

The world is tough, so we need to be tougher as well, and being weak has no place. We need to be strong and save ourselves, because we can't rely to other people, no matter how special they are to you, that they will do everything just to save you either.

[Joeboy]

The hard truth is that this our system wasn't even built with many of our interest in mind...So we folks really need to shaved off any expectancy mentality or "everything will fix itself" mentality and start building our own path/ career from whatever resources that we have. If possible, we can learn to develop ourselves mentally and financially, instead of waiting on some hopeless promise that the system has promised us......Though it may feel stressful and very uncomfortable but then relying on our own initiative is far more better and even wiser.

[Kelvinid]

Don't expect anything and from anyone, especially the government; just like Michael Jackson said, "They don't care about us".

We should only rely on ourselves, develop skills, maturity and self-control, you won't get far with 9-5 in terms of money, unless you're okay with the "safety" it provides.

The government will not save us, but they will chose to save themselves first, so never expect too much from them. Instead, grow and develop your best potentials because that will be your key so you can navigate life well. Although there may be different opportunities around, but people get unequal opportunities in life. The rich are mostly favored, so they get majority of the opportunities, while the poor will stay poor for the longest time, because even if the government offers opportunity, the requirements may not even be met. That's why a lot would claim that life is unfair, the government is unfair.

I suppose this is why so many of us have ended up here, in spaces like this forum. We are people who quit waiting. We saw that the old paths are overcrowded and the gates are closing. So we began walking through the forest instead. It is harder. There is no map. But at least we are moving.

Many are old-fashioned and they wait for others to make a move and some don't really wait for the authorities to come and solve their issues, they get up, find the things needed to solve the problem and do it with bunch of like-minded people. That's how the economies start to grow.

For example, in some places in my country some incidents occur as a kid fell into the sewerage system and lost his life, unfortunately which is a very sad news and I still feel very sad even quoting it here because their was no lid, and he fell in and lost his life, after 3rd day he was recovered.

The mismanagement and everything was taken seriously so the government removed the person in authority of that region who was supposed to take care of these things. A good move made by the government but from that point people are more careful themselves because they could have saved that boys life by acting early and putting a lid on, so no one fells into it. We all should act up and save others and ourselves but bro, I have seen some cases in other countries where just for the sake of funds one helping others get sued by the one who is getting helped by him. Really!

[Distinctin]

Its better to have this kind of mindset and be independent the whole time. We are solely responsible of our own, our mistakes and failures will be held accountable of our own, not the government or the other significant people around.

Life is better if you are wise in managing it, but if you are weak and is often dependent, you will only achieved nothing but regrets.

[Darker45]

Society has somehow made me cynical. Education, academic institutions, teachers aren't there to enlighten the minds of young people. They're there to brainwash them. Governments don't exist to protect and promote the welfare of the people. They're there to exploit them.

But it's quite hard to be free, especially for a family man. Surely, you won't feel comfortable seeing your small kids treated like an outcast in a highly brainwashed community. Most likely, you'll not only allow but seek a great degree of conformity.

Anyway, you seem to be romanticizing people joining this forum. Certainly, the great majority are here for economic reasons.

[Oasisman]

There's no roadmap to live in this world.

Many people including myself feel lost because there's no roadmap what we have to do after finish a college and get a job. I think most people have a difficulty to choose when they have a job based on the degree they took when they were in college.

But, having no roadmap is also good because we can do whatever we want without any limit, we can change our career or build a small business.

The roadmap is what path you took. That means, the trail you left behind is the roadmap you built for yourself, and those trail may lead you to your next destination, it could also be your guidance of what's ahead of you. Though those that are taught to us when we took all the necessary education can also serve as guidance, but the world outside are too wide to materialize what we have learned in school.
What we need the most is the experience for us to thrive and keep ourselves afloat no matter where your career take you.
