Another Attempt at the Triumph of the Woke Will.

The 2024 Olympics began with an opening ceremony which blasphemed God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ. That alone should tell you all you need to know about the kind of people you’re dealing with. Of course, they weren’t done there. Besides, in effect, dedicating the Olympic Games to Satan, they also engaged in various displays of sadism. There were the cardboard beds that were supposed to reduce carbon footprints. A human life isn’t allowed to make an impact on the world around him/her — unless, of course, that person is elite. The athletes in the Olympic Village were also not provided enough non-vegan alternatives for their diets. You do have to, in the very least, transition to a vegan diet. It would have seemed to me a simple thing to give the athletes a menu survey if the dieticians really couldn’t figure out what the demand would be for non-vegan food rather than punishing the non-vegan athletes.

And then there’s the fact the athletes weren’t supplied air conditioning during a heat wave. You’d think that for seventeen days these woke elites could make an exception. After all, how many exceptions do they make for themselves every day? But for the most exceptional athletes in the general population, no exception is permitted to be made. The elite have to take a hard line on us peons. And what better way than to make an example of the most accomplished of our representatives?

Why not humiliate and shame them publically? Why not get them to swim in a river of excrement in order to earn the shiny trinkets and accolades of the elite class who now have a monopoly on all the attention and shiny trinkets. How much amusement these woke elites, these sadists must have gained having these prize non-elites debase themselves for their approval. They even have had one of their elected stooges show how it’s perfectly fine to dive into a river of human filth in order to compel the athletes to do the same. Of course, it’s okay for her. She’s just a peon like the rest of us — another non-elite who they can laugh at — so desperate to serve her woke masters that she’s willing to throw her health away to do so.

So then came the boxing match between a biological woman and a person who identifies as a woman despite previously failing to meet the International Boxing Association eligibility rules.

“The International Boxing Association (IBA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are at odds over whether Khelif should be able to compete in women’s competitions. IBA president Umar Kremlev told Russian news agency TASS that Khelif and another boxer had ‘XY chromosomes,’ the typical genetic makeup of males, and that is why they were disqualified from the World Champion­ships in 2023, Reuters reported. However, the IBA, which is Russian-led, is itself controversial, having been ousted from Olympic competition oversight over ‘governance, finance, and ethical issues,’ Reuters reported.” (McBride, 2024)

Still, it’s clear that the Olympic Committee in their great woke wisdom has decided to use gender identity rather than biological sex to determine eligibility. “Also fueling controversy is the fact that the Olympics stopped testing for gender in 1999. ‘The decision to abandon compulsory gender verification in Olympic competition was taken in 1999, following many years of debate,’ according to a 2008 Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine article, ‘Intersex and the Olympic Games.’ ‘As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport,’ the IOC says.” (McBride, 2024)

The only rational criteria to determine eligibility should be biological sex. If they allow anyone who identifies as a woman to participate in women’s sports, eventually no woman will make the cut, and it will all be biological males in sports. Is that the point?

I personally think they mostly just enjoy watching a woman get shamed and beaten myself. I think the woke are moving us toward a sadistic society where non-elite people are conditioned to be masochists. I think if they have their way they will have us giving our will over to them and to Satan for a couple of pats on the back and a few golden trinkets. Then, if that doesn’t work they will try to force us to submit our will to them for food and water, for energy, for medicine, for shelter, for survival. Yes, this Olympics is a preview for the world the woke want us all to be living and dying in — a world straight out of Dante’s Inferno. A world where they not only challenge our right to free will, but they challenge God’s will as well. And it all started with the blaspheming of God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ. One cannot underestimate or condone the significance of that.

Attack Meritocracy, Reward Mediocrity

Attack Meritocracy, Reward Mediocrity

Two categories of people who tend to be picked on are people who underperform the group and those who outperform the group. People who are bullied can be nice people, but they can also be people who would have been bullies themselves if circumstances had broken their way.

There are plenty of well-performing narcissists in the world, but it appears as though there are even more underperforming ones. But then, with narcissists even being perceived of as average is considered by them to be a form of bullying since it means they won’t be getting the praise and attention they covet.

Wokeism is basically a movement of narcissists, so one of its features is a preoccupation with making these underperforming narcissists into some kind of victim class. What I have been seeing is contests rigged in favor of narcissists from a woke-created victim class. It is clear the contest is unfair in the eyes of the non-woke audience and participants. The chosen “winner” is not the best and/or isn’t even qualified to participate. But their winning achieves a victory for the narcissistic woke movement. It gives the narcissist their narcissistic supply of attention and praise — something they feel they have been unjustly deprived of. It also gives them the credibility of being declared the winner by people with the power and authority to bequeath the recognition — even if it obviously isn’t true. Those same power people can even punish the people who object to the unfairness of the narcissist’s adoration bash and refuse to participate.

Yes, you can’t be allowed to refuse to participate. You certainly aren’t allowed to have a contest where one of their own can’t be declared by them to be the winner. And the reason they can’t be declared the winner is because they simply are not qualified to win. No, all eyes must be on the narcissist — even if they’re scornful eyes. And the narcissist must also be able to revel in the defeated look on the rightful winner’s face as the narcissist gets their revenge for their own mediocrity by stealing the winner’s reward for themselves.

The Unthinkable

The Unthinkable

I have to wonder where this push that is being promoted by the WHO, the WEF, and the UN to sexualize children originally came from. Apparently, the idea that children are sexual beings stems from the writings of pedophiles from many years ago. But back then people had the sense not to talk about it publicly. What possible purpose does it serve to have children engage in sex acts before they can distinguish fantasy from reality on their own? When they are basically at the mercy of adults to tell them what reality is? And if the adults are lying to them, delusional, or invested in creating a reality they wish existed but doesn’t? What then? What happens to the children? I can’t even remember my life before the age of three. Now children are being groomed as babies for sexual exploitation. Plus, they are also now pushing for permanent physical and/or psychological changes to be made to these children.

In any event, I don’t believe the rush to sexualize children is for anyone’s benefit but the benefit of adult pedophiles. I don’t believe children are sexual beings, and I don’t see where children are benefited by forcing sexualization on them at an early age. Adults have enough trouble dealing with their sexuality. Linking the desperate need for love that a child has with the sexual exploitation tendency of a sexual predator is just a nauseating prospect to consider.

So, I think it’s important to consider the possibility that this whole movement of turning young boys into girls (which can’t be authentically done since human beings are not frogs) is really just a manipulation tool by a niche of pedophiles to create victims for themselves. There are a group of pedophiles whose preferred victims are boys who are made to pass as females then sexually exploited. So, it is very possible that the root of this phenomenon is merely an attempt by those perverts to gain access to America’s sons and use them as fodder for their perversions. And after these victims are exploited and emotionally destroyed, they will then throw these victims away when they age out of being attractive to them. To parents tempted to serve their children up to this horror show, at least consider the possibility that the narrative being pushed that the children want this is in fact a lie. And that these pedophiles are now merely sourcing the victims of their twisted predilections with our sons and daughter as they have been doing with children all over the world.

Their Views On Our Future Prospects

Their Views On Our Future Prospects

It seems there is no longer any attempt to maintain anything. It’s all being allowed to fall apart. The thinking appears to be highly short-term. There used to be consideration for both the short and the long term. Instead, there is this sense that everyone is trying to butcher the cash cow and get their share of the meat before it’s gone. There is the sense that people are trying to wring all the blood out of the middle class. But wringing the middle class out of its discretionary income through inflation and higher interest rates has long-term repercussions and I doubt the rich and the economists are too stupid to realize this. For example, what will the banks be left with if people can no longer afford to maintain their homes? A surefire way to ruin a house is to allow the roof to deteriorate. What will happen when the middle class can no longer afford to buy the goods from small businesses — the major, still existing employer of American citizens? Can they really not realize the domino effect that will ensue if they rid us of all our money? Or, is it they believe we are transitioning away from the economic paradigm we had all grown up with, and it will soon be replaced by one with extreme wealth coupled with extreme poverty? Where the majority work for no more than room and board — if we’re fortunate enough to afford even that much?

Human Beings Are Supposed to Add Structure to Things

Human Beings Are Supposed to Add Structure to Things

Human beings were given dominion over the Earth by God. We are supposed to be stewards — to add structure to the chaos. There seems to be an ideological belief that we should let things run wild — animals, children, plants. They seem to think that every time we intervene it’s somehow evil. But really what is the benefit exactly to allowing things to go to seed? Are pets and children who lack structure really happier? Aren’t they generally fearful and insecure if they’re sensitive and bullies if they’re not sensitive? And then there are the plants — even letting the plants grow uncontrolled has caused problems by contributing to a heinous wildfire problem.

And yet, the belief against sensical rules, structure, discipline, and responsibility persists. Right now, we’re in a rut. Our society can’t go on this way forever without structure and personal responsibility. We are still living off of the fruits of the hard work of past generations. Eventually, the stockpiles will be depleted, the infrastructure will collapse like the Rapidan Dam partially did in Minnesota, and the stores will close. Food and clean water will become scarce. Law and order will be a distant memory. Even if we’re “rescued” by an authoritarian government that promises to re-establish societal structure, don’t assume that will save you. Don’t forget that the main focus of these rescuers is to reduce the human population down to one billion people. So, wouldn’t it be better to add the structure back to our society ourselves rather than relying on these people’s “help.”

Writing Update #8

Posted in Beginnings, Contagion Phase, Mind Master Chronicles, The Pretender, Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 27, 2024| Leave a Comment »

It’s about time for the Smashwords Store sale, which is starting July 1st and lasts all of July. All my books, including my new one, Contagion Phase 1: Biosphere, will be free.

Break the Leg to Bend the Knee: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1415973

Contagion Phase 1: Biosphere: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1545993

Mind Master Chronicles: Labyrinth: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1353449

Mind Master Chronicles: Puppet on a String: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1386746

Meanwhile, the typing up of Contagion Phase 2: Beginnings is underway. And I’ve completed the first round of editing of the Mind Master Chronicles: The Pretender (Book 3). Here is the summary:

The Mind Master emerges from the shadows in order to play a game. Only it’s not the game he sold to his contestants online. No, that was a simple reality TV show, a promotional tool for their futures. In reality, the Mind Master’s game is a battle of wits to the death.

The editing for Mind Master Chronicles: The Pretender is going faster than it did with Biosphere. I had to make a lot more content changes with Biosphere.

I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like. I read an article recently on budgets — how you can focus on the interest rate or on the balance as your primary goal. I’m an interest rate person since it is the most efficient. Still, when you chip away at a lot of things rather than get fewer things done faster, you oftentimes don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere. And that can affect your morale. Still, I’m planning on continuing to try to do two pages a day per book because it keeps the pacing right for a book length story. Trying to add content later if you find the book is too short tends to harm the book. I will just have to dig deep and try to resume my schedule. Yes, I believe in taking breaks on occasion when I hit blocks. Putting too much pressure on yourself just creates anxiety. But you do have to prod yourself from time to time as well in order to keep the momentum going.

Update: Amazon is again offering up to $3.00 per transaction for Prime No-Rush and Amazon Delivery Day Rewards. The amount of Digital Rewards given seems dependent on the quantity of items purchased and what day of the week you purchase the items. It seems you need to buy four items at a time to qualify for the $3.00. The books I write qualify for Digital Rewards, so in theory you can get one of my eBooks if you get the $3.00 maximum reward once.

The Attack on Capitalism Is an Attack on Free Will

Posted in Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 24, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The Attack on Capitalism Is an Attack on Free Will

Free will is a mixed bag. Obviously some seriously destructive things come from it. And yet, I don’t see people willing to give it up. I’ve seen people willing to turn themselves over to sadists — get some high off of that — but that’s still that person’s choice, and it is a choice that can potentially be revisited if the sadist turns out to be less impressive than originally believed.

It may be because the masochist might change their mind that free will is something sadists are determined to strip away from people. In other words, it may be the desire of sadists to act out their fantasies on someone else without restraint and without consequence. It may also be arrogance — where they think they should be worshipped as false gods.

Our society is in the throws of a takeover of sadism. Having boundaries is evil. The free will of others is considered evil. It doesn’t matter if the tyranny results in a large death toll; it’s a worthwhile sacrifice because it destroys the free will of the masses. And that is a laudable goal in the minds of malignant narcissists and/or sadists.

The article, “The growing popularity of degrowth.” (Thompson, 2024) is an interview with the author Kohei Saito who wrote the book Slow Down. “Akielly Hu, Grist’s news and politics fellow, discussed the growing popularity of degrowth with Kohei Saito — a Marxist author whose 2020 degrowth manifesto quickly turned into a bestseller in Japan and beyond. (The English translation, called Slow Down, was just released last month.)” (Thompson, 2024) The article’s author, Claire Elise Thompson defines degrowth in this way, “If you like the idea of a perpetual three-day weekend, you might be one of a growing cadre that supports the concept of degrowth: a school of thought aimed at shrinking economies and moving away from GDP growth as a metric of success, while instead emphasizing universal basic services and social well-being.” (Thompson, 2024) In the article, Kohei Saito’s philosophy of slow growth is discussed. Kohei Saito’s belief system stems from Marxism. She describes this as a utopian prospect. First off, forced tyranny has usually been considered dystopian, not utopian. But Akielly Hu appears to be buying into a world where people are made happy by being given an extra day off a week. “Hu was also inspired by Looking Forward’s drabbles in writing the lede of her piece, which paints an image of a degrowth future: Imagine a world where you work three or four days a week. In your free time, you play sports, spend time with loved ones, garden, and engage with local politics. Overnight shipping, advertising, and private jets no longer exist, but health care, education, and clean electricity are free and available to all.” (Thompson, 2024)

Meanwhile, people would exchange any meaningful work for a job where you are just given a stipend in exchange for going through the motions. Only you won’t have to go through the motions for as many days a week. There would also be no discretionary income, no savings, no upward mobility. There will, I’m sure, be tight restrictions on what they allow you to buy. In fact, that is pretty much what Kohei Saito says, “‘But at the same time, we should start talking about the need to reduce the number of cars, for example, or industrial meat consumption, or frequency of flying. Maybe we should ban private jets. Maybe we should ban domestic short-distance flights because we can take trains. These things must be also prioritized.’ ” Kohei Saito continues, “‘The problem with the existing mainstream green capitalism discourse is they never talk about reducing our excessive consumption and production, because that’s not something capitalism can accept. For everyone to live a decent life on this planet, the Global North needs to give up what is unnecessary. That’s not something capitalism can do.’ ” (Thompson, 2024)

So meat is out, trips beyond a certain distance from your house are out, and I’m guessing medical care that prolongs your life will probably also be out since it not only adds to the price of socialized health care, it also causes an unnecessary carbon footprint. The article “Our pets are part of the climate problem. These tips can help you minimize their carbon pawprints.” by Kimberly Richardson states the following about unhealthy pets. Kimberly Richardson quotes Gudrun Ravetz with Vet Sustain as saying, “Avoiding animals with known health problems will reduce the need for veterinary intervention, which has a carbon footprint, and most importantly will reduce unnecessary suffering in terms of poor health and welfare.” (Richardson, 2022) I’m assuming the same would apply to human beings with health problems.

I suppose some people like the prospect of allowing someone else to make all their decisions for them — actually I know that those types of people exist. The global elite are trying to sell their total domination and control as a utopia where you are just taken care of — where you have no worries and are safe. But that world doesn’t exist in this life, and it’s certainly not going to be delivered by people with a depopulation agenda.

In the end, capitalism is the economic system that signifies free will. And just like free will, it can be destructive. The best solution would be a society of people who take personal responsibility for themselves and self-regulate. Then, hopefully, the good would outweigh the bad. But the people steering the ship aren’t interested in Christianity and desire to cut God out of the world. They want a society of people who will admire their narcissism and obey and worship them. But how do you accomplish both a narcissistic /sadistic bent in society while still having a society that won’t self-destruct: tyranny and social control. And tyranny and social control require a new economic state-controlled system such as communism or fascism.

By the way, an eerie thing happens when fascists say you can rest more. At the concentration camps in WWII they tricked people into the death line by promising the sick, the elderly, and the children a less arduous workload. Work won’t set you free, but it’s a bad sign when they no longer value your work. After all, how many ways do they have to show they don’t believe in the intrinsic value of human life? So it’s not good they no longer see us as useful to them at all.

One Extreme or Another — The Illegal Immigration Crisis

Posted in Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 18, 2024| Leave a Comment »

We need to have representatives that represent the people, not just bureaucrats that push forward their own agendas — constantly forcing the citizenry to engage in behavior against their free will by stacking these bureaucracies with fellow ideologues. They even prevent “We the People” from making even the barest of decisions on our own or from substantially influencing public policy. The laws enforced are about social control, not public safety. It’s become a system of favoritism, not of equal treatment. And yet, even the favorites can’t rely on being treated well from one moment to the next.

I remember when illegal migrants were being put up in fancy hotels. Apparently, those days are over. Sanctuary cities throughout the country are now evicting migrants from shelters after a set period of time. In a way, it makes sense. There should be an acknowledgement that this unrestricted migration can’t be sustained and that a city can’t afford to house a limitless homeless population. But because this is illegal immigration not legal immigration the structure and resources are just not there to smoothly transition people into an independent life. Once these people are evicted, what will happen to them? And once new people come in and find no support, what will happen to them? In other words, there isn’t enough condemnation of the open border policy itself coming from these sanctuary cities. You can’t simply kick people out on the streets and expect them to manage. How exactly do they think they’re going to get back to the border? Back to their countries of origin? And that’s assuming their countries of origin will take them back. Are the migrants even going to be allowed to cross back into Mexico and Canada? I’m not even sure the sanctuary cities want them to leave the United States, but they just don’t want to deal with the ones who aren’t fortunate enough to get adequate jobs and housing themselves. Their attitude appears to be to let someone else bear the cost; have other states and cities’ societal structures torn apart by the lack of preparation and the lack of structure you get from illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, it isn’t as though these migrants have been being treated well since the fancy hotel days. No, I don’t like the sense of entitlement I’ve seen. To my knowledge we’ve never had an immigration period where people came expecting to be taken care of. They used to want the opportunity for a better life, not to have that better life handed to them on the back of the people already living in the country. And still, it isn’t just the citizens of the United States who are suffering here; it’s also the migrants themselves. This is one of the most cynical, disrespectful things I’ve seen done in the name of humanity — encouraging people through demonstrations and promises of reward to debase themselves in order to come here. Where is the sanitation? And how are these people supposed to afford our inflated cost of living by taking on unskilled jobs when at least one of the reasons they were brought here was to drive down wages?

And the woke people who once upon a time, when they claimed to want the migrants in their cities, tried to feed us the line that these were refugees awaiting an answer to asylum requests. But I don’t see a refugee camp or even a recognizable crisis aside from the chaos created by the sheer number of homeless people they compelled to come here. No, these “refugees” are now being treated like intruders, not victims of a crisis. And they are being treated that way by the same people who encouraged them to come in the first place.

Still, this problem won’t be resolved by shoving people out onto the streets. We need to re-establish legal immigration. People need to be vetted before they are allowed to live here. And the free hotel stays and such to entice people to come here need to stop.

And we need to stop electing people who take all of our power of governance away from us, refuse to represent us, and then refuse to take responsibility for the fallout of their decisions.

The Perpetual Attack on the Sensitive Side

Posted in Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 10, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The Perpetual Attack on the Sensitive Side

Most people are born with a sensitive side. Society increasingly appears to have a pathological hatred of it. It’s possibly because you need God if you have a sensitive side in order to keep your sensitive side alive. Whereas those who don’t have a sensitive side are convinced that they don’t need Him. And perhaps they don’t want to need Him, and they don’t want others to need Him either. Regardless, there is an open antagonism toward sensitivity in our society. Society has encouraged people to have no sensitive side and forgo attachments.

Our socialization process in the school system seems to be geared toward giving children a “thicker skin.” Having a thicker skin is considered a good thing, feelings are not. But without a sensitive side and attachments people become disposable.

And the attack on sensitivity has never been worse than it is now. Now they are going after children sexually. And sex is a very effective way to destroy a person’s sensitive side. But the UN, the WHO, and the WEF are all pushing for the sexualization of children. There are no good reasons to do this — only bad. Reducing sex to an act of mere physical stimulation reduces the odds of incorporating emotional, mental, and spiritual components to the act. People, especially sensitive people, want more than just physical stimulation. But how can you achieve that experience — sex as a part of love — if it’s been made into only a physical reality?

Physical sex alone also suffers from the law of diminishing returns. Like a drug addiction, over time the high diminishes and you require something additional such as drugs or violence (such as sadomasochism) to keep things interesting. This flies in the face of the argument that training children to engage in sex as a mere physical act is a good thing. In reality, the sooner you start, the sooner you will lose interest. Which brings us to the real reason why there is a push to sexualize children: pedophilia. For some adults traditional sex no longer holds any interest. Only debauching the innocent and the sensitive seems to turn them on. So, they are seeking access to a victim pool. They are looking to normalize it into society. They are trying to convince people that reducing sex to a mere physical act at a younger age is a good thing for children — when clearly it is not. It’s all about insensitive people trying to find stimulation because they are cold and jaded. Because you can’t be satisfied with anything without a sensitive side. And unless you have an irrational aversion to sensitivity and a hatred of God, why would you want to destroy that element in any human being — let alone a child? In the end, by introducing children to sex as an act of mere physical stimulation you are preventing them from experiencing it as an act of love. Children need to spend their formative years learning who they are as a total person, which includes mental, emotional, and spiritual development. Sex at an early age could also potentially kill a child’s sensitive side. We need to stop catering to adults looking for more and more sexual stimulation. It’s gone too far already. But for those who have convinced themselves that sex among children is no big deal, I will submit that this need for stimulation in the adults who advocate for it could still progress even further. What’s to stop torture and murder from coming next?

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them,

And said, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

“And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

“Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

“Wherefore it thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

“And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven.

“For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost.

“How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

“And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18: 1-14)

Tick Tock … What’s The Point of This Clock?

Posted in Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 6, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Tick Tock … What’s The Point of This Clock?

When I was in art school, there was a clock — just a generic one you could hang on the wall. It was low enough that anyone could reach it. I didn’t discover the time was off until I stayed after class to work on an assignment. Then, I headed to my next class. Only I heard the sound of the clock tower ringing while en route. The clock in my last class was five to ten minutes slow. How could this be? The time was then fixed on the clock the next day, and I assumed the problem was over. But, lo and behold, the clock ended up five to ten minutes slow again. The professor suggested that the clock might be winding down. I pointed out that clocks that are winding down don’t keep a consistent time. My theory was that someone was setting the clock backward intentionally, so that they would have extra time to arrive to class without being counted as late. Who cared how it affected the rest of us?

A girl in my class challenged me with the, “Why do you care so much?” argument. She was offended apparently by my desire for rules and structure — as so many people are. I pointed out to her that she had a class right after this one in which she told me had a strict tardiness policy. So, really, it affected her far more than me. But she was more offended by my attitude than by the actions of the person getting her into trouble. Because ironically our release time from class was being determined by the time on this clock that everyone now knew was faulty. The professor also didn’t seem to be bothered by the faulty clock. Once the onetime reset was done, nothing further was attempted to fix the problem. And yet, he still insisted on having us be in class “on time,” or we’d be counted as absent. He also continued to release us from class “on time” — all based on the faulty clock.

What I learned from this experience is that some people really hate rules and standards applied to themselves. And they are more invested in shutting down people who have standards than in their own best interests. Yet, those same people don’t mind insisting that other people be made to live under their rules and standards.

Eventually, I just relied on my watch. I could afford to be released late. If people who couldn’t afford to be released late would rather see my quest for consistency and standards fail than fix the problem, so be it. But really, what is the point of a clock with the wrong time?
