it only becomes apparent when one takes a step back and reflects on the nature of things, but many never find the time to, the noise has drowned them, it is their reality.
It is also the case with bad things that happen, when at the time we are "damaged" but looking back, we learn things that have helped us because of the damage we have taken. Our view of the world is always heavily redacted.
I want to be debt free and largely non-reliant on anyone/thing for my income - the only way that happens is to invest and not be in the centralized system completely. I don't know how possible it is, but that is one of the mistakes I am willing to discover :)
