Dear doremi:
About being “just a cog in a giant machine”-
The great majority of working people feel like cogs in a giant machine, I think. Even exciting jobs such as a courtroom lawyer and U.S presidents, caught in gridlocks, powerless to pursue their goals, may be feeling like cogs in the giant government machine.
Do you remember when you were a young child, the first time you painted something on paper, maybe in kindergarten, maybe before? Do you remember being so excited, feeling like you are the only entity in the whole world that can do that? That thing you made, your masterpiece!
And then as you grew up, you discovered that painting was not … that unique, not really… ?
We all start as believing the wold revolves around us. What a shock it is to find ourselves cogs in a giant machine.
What do you think so far? Interested in communicating with you more about this…
