Summary : Suffer self discipline now, or suffer mediocrity later.

Sorry for my english, as It is not my native tongue.

Body:

Yesterday, I was walking down the streets doing stuff with some friends, and LTRs of them. One of this girl (upper-mid class white dumb girl) was walking her dog. This dog was going beltless, running all over the place, jumping people just being an obnoxius dog.

Everyone thought it was cute, I, being a pain in the ass, indicated that It lacked discipline, and that it was not longer a puppy to be behaving like that. I received an answer along this lines "Bla bla bla Clara doesn't bite and is a good gurl bla bla you should have some fun from time to time bla bla"

I smiled and kept walking knowing that times always punch you in the face with reality. I didn't know though, this time around, reality would have been shove up her ass so soon.

15 minutes later, we are stopping at a green light, the dogs start running around while this girl tries to scold it. The dog doesn't give a fuck and keep running around, into people, into the streets.

Straight into a Bus, straight in into its death.

I'm not a Fan of animals getting killed because stupid owners, but I hope she and everyone in the group learned the lesson.

It wasn't the dog fault, but "Clara" paid the maximum price of lacking discipline. People doesn't realize that lacking discipline will cost you way more down the line than the little burden of having daily self-restrictions. Maybe, because brutal examples like this one are rare and sometimes difficult to grasp to the untrained mind.

Keving who smokes pot everyday, gets black out drank every saturday night, has a 1.4 GPA and owes 20k to the bank won't get killed in a sword duel for lacking training. He will suffer depression, bankrupt, obesity and a dead-end low paying job 15 years from now, and due to lack of time correlation he won't notice it was his fault.

Then, he will point fingers and blame the Goverment, the baby-boomer generation, capitalism, white guys (or inmigrants), the elite, sociopath bosses etc.

You will suffer sooner or later. Suffer now, under your terms, while gaining a lot of good things from it. Suffer going to the gym every day, suffer having a restricted diet, suffer waking up at 7 am to study 6-8 hours everyday, suffer going for a hard and profitable degree, suffer going sexless months at the time if that means having more time to kill it at college or a start-up (or both).

And you won't suffer mediocrity 10 years from now, that is by far, the most soul crushing pain you will experience.
