Unpopular Opinion

In life there are 4 types of people. Doers, thinkers, watchers, and instigators.

The doers do things. They have a plan, and they just do it. Doesn't even have to be their own plan. But it becomes their plan the moment they do it.

The thinkers don't pay attention to what has happened, they think of what they want to happen. They study what works, what doesn't work, and why. Then they think of their plans for the future. They may not even be the one to execute the plan, but they set the plan in place.

The watchers watch what everyone is doing. They don't influence outcomes. They just watch, and take notice of what is happening to develop a greater sense of information gathering.

And the instigators are usually self motivated. They stir shit up, to divide people for personal gain. Usually there is no plan. Just the fastest path to get others divided, and see how to benefit as it comes.

Well I'm a watcher. And 30 years ago I began noticing trends. I'd see local politicians tell my city (Cleveland) that their administration was going to be the one to bring Cleveland back on top. And then nothing happened. Then the next Mayor said they were going to put Cleveland back on top. And nothing happened. And then the next mayor said they were going to put Cleveland on top. I was at one of these city hall press confrences in 2004. I asked newly elected Mayor Jane Cambell what the plan was to put Cleveland on top as she claimed. Her answer was basic politician speak. Saying a lot of words to get people to nod their heads in agreement, but not actually saying anything of substance. I watched as everyone in the room clapped and smiled and was assured by her obviously prepared answer. This wasn't a plan. It was a dodge. Don't answer the question, but make everyone feel as if you did.

Around this time, it started coming out that Mike White, Mayor in 1996, was found guilty of corruption, fraud, financial embezzlement. The works. Then I watched as everyone around me started nodding and saying they knew it all along. Bitch, no you didn't. You didn't say a word. I didn't know either, but I was 13. I still watched as everyone felt luke warm about Mike White. And somehow this became Jane Cambells problem. She had a very short term. Never heard from her again.

And then came Frank Jackson. Again, I saw the reaction as luke warm water. He stayed mayor for like 15 years. Just because every election we hadn't heard of any new fraud. Then towards the end, his grandson was involved with organized crime, and he hadn't done anything of note his entire tenure.

What I also notice is that people like this, the doers, they don't face real reprocussions. Occasionally they do. I'd like to have seen Mike White imprisoned. That didn't happen. Instead, he just faded into obscurity. Stole millions in tax dollars meant for the schools, in a time when I was going to school. I remember our schools never had enough books. Never had enough supplies. Teachers underpaid. All so this asshole can get another bonus.

And you can apply this at a national level too. The athletes that make it to the big time. The NFL, THE NBA, the MLB, ect. They can rape women, and keep their jobs getting paid millions of dollars. They can drink and drive and when the cops come, they don't reach for their handcuffs. They reach for their cell phone to grab a selfie.

So 30 years ago, I said karma isn't real. There are good honest people in this world. You'll never hear from them unless you work with them, or are family to them. But they don't get a massive bonus sent to them from a corporation for helping the needy, the sick, the elderly, the mentally different. They don't get a free pass from law enforcement for making an honest mistake. Some of them get shot by the police for being not white.

Look at our president. Go out on the street and ask 100 people if they think he's a pedophile or not. I would be shocked if it wasn't a 100% yes. Yet, there he is. He's the president. I STILL think he rigged the system to do it.

Think he'll face jail time? Think he'll be hit with Karma? Did Nixon get a jail sentence, or a pardon?

Karma isn't real.
