system's way of tiring people out...

"We will finish your work today, please wait and take it", says the officer.

5 hours later. I am still waiting.

Watching the play of various egos, his against mine, other colleagues against his, as patience yo-yos from wanting to walk out in indignation and knowing that nothing will happen if I do that till I come back next time.

Mediocrity is the prevailing culture, egos play around the sustenance of this culture. no one wants anyone to excel and everyone looks at all others with suspicion.

Tiring the opponent is a war tactic, the one who lasts wins, with the system it can last forever while the individual can only last as much as his patience lasts, here i am with some money in my pocket, capacity to see through their words and acts of insincerity,command a certain authority as well because of my previous engagement and stature. If this is what the system of pygmies can inflict on me, wonder how it will be for the poor and deprived, often with neither money, nor capacity to negotiate and a need for the system's care.

Violent thoughts.

May wise and learned being be revered, And always be sustained by alms. May they be pure in mind, And may their fame spread far and wi
