I don't understand how you get "Reality sucks and you can't change it" from anything I said. The part of reality that we're talking about, that I said sucks, is the rule that says that you are not entitled to anything. No matter how hard you work, no matter what tests you took, no matter what they told you would happen if you paid tens of thousands of dollars for school, you are entitled to nothing! Like everyone else who isn't lucky enough to have it all handed to him, you'll have to continue to claw and scratch and struggle to survive and to create wealth and to get the things you want.

When did I say you shouldn't try to change the hand you're dealt? Absolutely you should! If you don't like the status quo, turn it over! How do you confuse "No one owes you anything" with "you should not try to change anything"?

You said: ". My rules may suck, but they have the advantage of being reality."

Hence "reality sucks". I don't see that I misread that.

I agree you didn't say anywhere that you shouldn't try to change the status quo, but to be fair, there's often a lot of confusion between "that's how things are" and "that's how things should be".

I don't have the patience for a lengthy discussion on this now- apologies.
