Open Doors

Ever since childhood they tell you that life is full of open opportunity; the doors are open and everything seems to be heading to heaven...

Although, what they don't tell you is all of the bends in the corridor are designed to throw you off your track, and ensure you're at the back.

The lie society tells you is that life is a race to the end.

That there are: Winners, Losers and the Inbetweeners.

An artificial social hierarchy, brainwashed by the elite to reaffirm that they won the rat race.

When in actuality,

the winners are those who have achieved stability and serenity.

Matters not what grades you get, what status you have, or how many followers you have.

All that matters is your mentality, as at the end of the day, this is all you can control. How you react to stresses, how you react to the social cage your in. Because what you'll realize is although the cage is there, it doesn't have to be locked. As you mentality will set you free.
