Rational Versus Realistic Paradox

Is it rational to expect there to be, at the very least, a handful of reasonable people willing to get to know you? YES. Is it rational to expect a certain level of courtesy and etiquette when talking to people? OF COURSE. Is it rational to be reciprocated with the respect you pour out to people? CERTAINLY But as rational as these expectations may be, they are not realistic. Most people are unreasonable. Most people lack any sense of desire or patience to get to know anyone. Most people don’t value respect as a moral virtue these days. And so no matter how rational our expectations might be, they will always be trumped over by reality. Owning a house, finding your career, and establishing a family are not outlandish or egregious desires in terms of rationality.

Most people should be able to buy a house. Most people should be able to have a decent career. Most people should be able to find a significant other and have the option for children. But as those in power continuously strive for socialistic ideals, these simple ideas are becoming increasingly impossible to attain. With all of these things you need money which starts at attaining a career. Most people under 30 have little to no working potential being $100,000 in debt for a masters degree in African American Lesbian studies working for a non profit, making $7.50 an hour.

With this debt hanging over the shoulders of the recently graduate, the idea of owning a house is nearly impossible as they are unable to apply for a loan. But most youths seeing owning a house as a liability rather than an asset which is reasonable considering increasing property taxes throughout the years. With a decent career and a place to stay, young men could barely afford a wedding ring to propose, let alone pay for food and rent. If we factor in the “advances” in feminism, the corruption of quality in both men and women render most of them unmarriageable.

Women have been fed the lie that they can have it all. They could have the perfect 10/10 husband, they could have their career, they could have their education, and they could have their 2.5 children making them solipsistic. Men are no better. With a lack of male influences in their life, primarily because of single motherhood and daycare, they have grown out of shape and highly unmotivated. Spiritually and emotionally they are self-defeated resorting to disassociate with the word in the realm of the internet and video games. Or worse fall into vices such as smoking and drinking.

But let’s say you are lucky enough to qualify for a reasonable spouse. Do you dare bring in a child into this world with a price tag over $250,000. If we add all of these things up, do they sum up to the American dream? Of course not, they are fraught with legal and financial risks. It’s hard to give up on these things though. How do you give up getting married? How do you give up having children? How do you accept you will never live out your dreams? The answer is simple…there is no choice because you must abide by reality. Until next time, hopefully you guys have a wonderful day and cheers.
