Soundness of mind

Really, I am not paranoid, but I know there are people in my environment that do not respect my intelligence and seem to think I am blind and deaf.

I stay open and share with the others around me because of my age and I am also part of the proletariat along with having a goal of personal change/evolution.

I am moody and sometimes all of this gets to me and I resort to outbursts of anger. I get tired of these dudes around me who bond in an unhealthy matter and then validate each other because they cannot survive in this restrictive and oppressive environment and are not up to facing it alone. Now, in the corporate world it is known as "group think" and while there is comfort in numbers and "no man is an island" you may want to learn to depend on yourself and use your God-given intelligence b/c you may have to depend solely on yourself in some unique situations that may present themselves here.

At this juncture in my life, I feel like I owe it to those around me to remain compassionate and mature, but I have to admit, there are times that I want to flash and verbally be-little a man to shatter his self-image...and that ain't good. Because I have finally realized it may be more about me than the other person and I cannot take frustration out on others.

I do finally realize that I have a choice to either keep my head up or to succumb to negativity.
