The Strong Get Nothing But Grief

Why Don't 'Normal' People Get Any Praise?
Just because someone doesn't fall victim to vices does not mean that they do not have struggles themselves.  It just means they have a stronger mental, emotional and physical fortitude than those who do fall prey to such vices.  People in the work place are being praised for sobriety and oftentimes blaming lack of performance on their inability to handle stress thus falling to hard drugs or depression.  Fuck that.  They use their lack of fortitude as a weapon of pity.  The man/woman who keeps on keeping on, without showing any signs of weakness often gets the short end of the stick.  It becomes a competition of who has the most 'mental illnesses'.  Don't tell so and so they're under-performing!  They might relapse!  Don't be too tough on so and so!  You might cause them to kill themselves!  Go ahead, do it.  I won't lose any sleep over it.  If it's in God's will right?


The Strong Get Nothing but Grief
They haven't caught the 'disease' of addiction or depression.  Disease my ass.  You are a culmination of your decisions and actions.  The strong and silent never get jack shit except grief.  You're treated like a punching bag because people know you'll take it without falling back on the pitiful excuse of relapse/depression/suicide.  It's even more bullshit when you're in a country as great as the United States of America.  You want to know about depression?  Why don't you go visit the depressive landscape of North Korea?  Why don't you go visit the famine areas of Africa?  Then you will see what depression REALLY means.  You want to know about anxiety?  Why don't you go visit the war-torn front-lines of Ukraine, where you don't know when a munition will drop on your head.  Oh what's wrong?  You have running water, food and shelter.  Better do heroin and act like a victim!  Oh my God, you are so brave!  Fuck you.  Fuck you and everyone who enables you to act like a victim.  You made decisions and now the chickens are coming home to roost.


I See You
For those strong people who suffer in silence and do not fall victim to vices.  This blog is for you.  I see you.  I admire you.  I am proud of you for being the perfect specimen of tenacity.  Push back against the drug addicts, the alcoholics, the anxious and the depressed.  Do not fall for their victim hood and keep on being strong.  Fuck them.  They'll cull themselves soon enough......

Your Body's 401k

  Your Body's 401k By Adam Mundorf People think you're crazy when you wake up and change your life. Your Body's 401k The obsession with money is misguided.  You don't need nearly as much as you think you do and if you have crazy aspirations for your money like mansions, Lamborghini and expensive tastes, your health will need to take a backseat in most cases.  Many readers of this blog know that I know a lot about the foundations of personal finance and investing.  What my many hours and possibly years of reading has led me to, is that health is wealth.  All that stressing, sitting and lack of true intrinsic fulfillment leads to a quite frankly, sad end of life.  People act like nursing homes, limping around, fat body and skinny arms is the only way to end up.  This couldn't be further from the truth.  I can run out of fingers and toes, thinking of examples of millionaires I personally know, who said they wished they took care of their health.  They have nice stuff b

What I Learned from 29 to 30

What I learned from 29 to 30 By Adam Mundorf What I Learned from 29 to 30 Hm, welp another year has passed and my life couldn't be better.  I am in good health, money in the bank and a roof over my head.  The above things are due to my decisions and actions.  Not once have I worried about an invading nation, a famine, a drought or where my next meal was coming from.  The above things have to do with luck.  The biggest lesson I learned was that our problems aren't really problems at all.  Growing up and living in America is living life on easy mode provided you don't self harm yourself through bad decisions.  We obviously don't all grow up with the same opportunities provided to us BUT if we take responsibility for our actions, realize we start where we are, we can become anything we want. Things aren't perfect but America is pretty darn close.  There is a reason why there are endless lines of people trying to get in but so few are trying to leave. To sum it up 29 to

Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? : The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car

  Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car By Adam Mundorf Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? This blog will be mostly my inner monologue with some questions along the way, just for a warning.  I'm putting my thoughts down and through that process to find some 'a-ha' moments.  It's self exploration. I get asked often about why I'm comfortable where I am in life because my chosen profession isn't what most people would want.  I'm not an exactly ambitious individual but am content with my own lot in life.  People respond typically with an almost pity and that perplexes me.  Maybe it's because I have such simple wants and desires.  I value the inexpensive/simple pleasures in life.  I value peace and quiet, a comfortable bed, cute animals and running water.  I for sure get if you burdened your life with obligations i.e, family, huge debts and/or some idealistic dream of being fabulously wealthy, you&
