Children, you were lied to. Initially by your families and society, and now by yourselves.
You are not special. All of you, me too, are replaceable.
This need you have to be the only one who gets ahead is what is holding you back. It makes you the easiest of tools to use, and you keep putting yourselves into random hands, then wondering why you keep being broken.
When I say “you are not special”, I don’t mean you have no value as person.
