At Which Point?

At which point does the natural over-achiever become the one justifying underachievement? At which point does the functional and successful individual become the "driven down" or the accommodating? Why is it - that when these individuals realize the infractions of life - when they used to fight them with whole heart - begin to accept them and find a way to be OK with whatever decisions they make - for the ONLY reason that "it just makes life easier", or WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME? Why do the rest of us - or even those walking amongst them/us - keep quiet? What makes the most successful among us, the rich and powerful, any different than the poorest amongst us all? AT SOME POINT - THEY ALL FOLDED - THAT'S WHY~ INDOCTRINATION is what causes this. Our "folks in the know" up in Washington tell us anymore what we are to believe - causes indoctrination. Increasing Government intervention, and laws and regulations to follow cause us to be tired and restless with our lacks of freedom over decades - one little "ism" at a time. Truth is - we allow ourselves to be indoctrinated. Decades of "no consequences" causes this. I think it began with the first people that failed of their own doing. Discipline used to be the norm - when un-disciplined folk had the money to, were allowed to, or just chose to...began the rule of NO RULE. It's a catch 22 of sorts. TOO MUCH accountability, and folks began to feel abused. It started wih one or two - grew into thousands - and then THOSE who were ACTUALLY accountable - lost sight of THAT DISCIPLINE due to "fear of rejection" bogus lawsuits, or lack of mony and /or interest. The MAIN reason for indocrination is fatigue.
