  1. The system doesn't like a creative person. The system likes a nice well-oiled cog in the giant wheel. Creativity is too disruptive to routine, to bureaucracy, to tedium...all things the system and the wardens of the system like. Work for any large company and this is clear as day. When i worked for one of the world's largest banks, I of course immediately befriended the other "Winston Smith's/Neo's" in the machine. We would often joke about how many roadblocks to success, creativity, or progress the upper management would throw at us. Most kept their heads down and just went along with it because it was easier. I got out of there when I could. But the bank is just one of so many things like this in the world. Public schools are the same way. It took me having kids to see it happening to them to realize it happened to me way back in the 1980's and 90's as well. The most brilliant, talented, artistic, what have you, all stifled because these types cause too many disturbances in the Matrix. I came to the conclusion years ago that life would be easier as an average intelligence, obedient, uncreative, unquestioning individual. But really who wants to live such a tedious life? Not me. If I had it to do all over again I actually wouldn't change much. Being more of a round peg certainly would have made my childhood and young adulthood easier, but I'm a square peg and proud of it and always will be, even if it makes things more difficult, if life isn't at least a little challenging it's a bore.
