Personally… I’m really glad I was raised in a different place than you. Would hate to be so jaded and distrusting. I worked in media for a number or years. Met a lot of people who did as well. Very trustworthy, upstanding people trying to make a difference in their own way… as was I. Decided it didn’t pay well enough though so I went back to school and got two more degrees before finally landing in mental health. Look… I get there are some corrupt people out there. You can find them in any profession and walk of life. There are also some really, really amazing, honourable and brilliant people who have devoted their lives to service of others in different forms. I’ve met and worked with some politicians who are as well. Painting everyone with the same brush is a mistake Core and kind of explains your depression and cynicism.
