Deception...

Jellyfish in an aquarium

a few scenarios

1. You have created an art work and someone infringes on your work, but you are not mad, but happy because it means your work is good enough to be infringed...
2. Instead of being paid to do work, companies demand to ask you to do free work... As if it is the norm... Instead of getting mad, you are happy that you have a chance to be affiliated with this big corporation...
3. Someone sexually harasses you, but you aren't mad because it means that you are pretty enough to be sexually harassed...
4. You find a job but they are paying you way less than what you deserve, yet you do not complain but happy because "at least" you have a job...

What is wrong with all these scenarios? The idea behind it is all wrong, people are using your ego to their benefit.

There is a difference between being used and being valued. If you were valued, you would not be deceived and taken advantage of... There is no free lunch in this world... you should not be the one giving these "free lunches"... if you don't believe me... try getting something for free... I dare you.

As mentioned above... the 4 scenarios are all wrong... completely wrong, yet, we deal with these with a simple "c'est la vie", しょがない, that's life, that's how it is...

We live in a twisted world, where people take advantage of each other. People tell you that that is how the way things work, but it isn't... they are trying to deceive you... so they can take advantage of you.

PLEASE... Know your rights and stand up for them! Know your value, let your actions show others what is your worth.

IF you deceive someone, you lose one of life's greatest treasures, you lose the capacity to trust. Because without trust, love is not possible - Unknown
