"When people whine about having to do more work than someone else, I'm like...really? You aspire to be the least contributing in the group?" -Statistics teacher
We in America live in a world of Zeros. We live in a society that continues to support and encourage non-contributor, non-driven, simply...LAME people: Zeros.
The United States is designed to give every man an equal opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But somewhere in the centuries, happiness came to be synonymous with convenience. The American Dream today is to cheat natural selection: to do nothing and survive anyway.
It's frustrating to fight a Zero's logic. It's stifling to try to reason a Zero into caring and it's exhausting to try to force a Zero to care. They don't want to actually do the physics problem set and they don't want to pay the parking permit fee and they don't want to wait in line, they just want to watch The Bachelor and receive the success they're entitled to.
And sadly, they are allowed this behavior because of people like me who care more about the job being done than we care about who does the job.
But this is only the conspicuous Zero.
The worse kind of Zero is the more common one: the theoretical Zero. These Zeros try to remove manifest Zeros but use the same lazy mindset. The theoretical Zero has these socialist ideas that say everyone should put in the same amount of effort for the world to be fair.
That's a load of bull, theoretical Zeros.
The way natural selection works, the least hard-working individuals can't sustain themselves and they either change their behavior or die. Not "the lazier people learn to work harder and everyone is equal and happy".
If someone's working less than you are, consider yourself on the right path to success. Don't get on a soapbox about inequality.
And if you can no longer find someone working less than you, you are the bottom of the group. You are the Zero. You need to step it up.
Or you could join the Zeros. You'll have plenty of company.
