Small town syndrome

I have come to realize in this world there is a political hierarchy in everything.

It is not about what you know, it is about who you know

I have heard that time and time again.

It doesn't matter w-hat situation, friends, work, entertainment, all of it is based around this notion that you know someone that knows someone. Blah blah.
I don't see why it has to be like that, I think that we should live in a world where you get a job based on experience, training, and knowledge. That if you would like to be friends with someone you should be friends not just because you know someone they know. That you should be able to walk into a club/bar/restaurant because you worked your ass off to pay for what ever it is that you want to buy. Why do you have to know someone?
It makes life that little bit harder, especially if you have relocated. Everyone is so concerned about the whowhos and whatwhats of the world that they forget to look at the little things. I think people need to just stop, stand still, look up at the sky and think "What am I doing on Earth? What is it that I need to do? Am I the best I can be?" 

And they need to be honest with themselves! 

I know it is not easy! Trust me I know that much! I have only just learnt how to do that! 

I have sat stuck in thought for hours at a time, with a house filled with snores and sleeping beings. Just thinking about life and my situation, it is so hard to be honest with yourself sometimes! 

I discovered that I have several issues with myself, small issues that cause the biggest problems! I learnt how to be patient and that if I want something done properly I need to still my mind and think. I shouldn't just jump into something so brashly and rude. 

Look at the Great wall of China, that wasn't built in a day, it took time, patience and hard work. If you are to build a house l, you get everything you need before you begin, everything is like that in life. Everything needs to be thought of slowly and carefully. The small things. 

It's the small things that count. 

A chink in the armour. 

Though sometimes the risk of jumping into something blind is worth it, it teaches you resistance and builds your immune system, your figurative one. 

I don't know. 

I suppose you have to fall, stumble, crumble, and wobble sometimes to get right back up and fight for what is right. 

Small town syndrome is a plague and a disease.
