RE: Lighting fires - dousing flames
On a deeper level you discover that you are always on your own, or at least decentralized, so it is always better to be prepared, not to mention that the process itself empowers you, right?

This is the thing with it all I think. People want freedom but turn to authority to save them, which empowers the authority.
In a workplace paying for training, they generally take the approach to train for service to the company betterment and that isn't always in line with personal betterment. I think this has been shifting over time somewhat but still largely remains.
I like working with people, collaborating, and cooperating as it is really the only way to deal with large cases. For example, no one person is going to clean up the environment, it is going to take a very large number who agree. However, one person is capable of doing some part of the process involved and proactivity is the domain of the individual.
Yeah, I think that you need to be somehow lucky to align your needs with your employer's. I have spent quite some time being employed or as a contractor and even though they take care of you well, you are still spending your time building someone else's dream. You see, this is not about money. You can be paid in gold but it still won't change the fact, the bitterness on your tongue. But dunno, perhaps and probably just me, others don't have issues selling their time easier :-)
The problem is, when I do something, I do it 100%, and then really, money is not enough to pay for the energy spent on the matter.
And yeah, that is the everlasting clash. You cannot be free without responsibility. You can only be truly free when you are totally responsible for your decisions and life. Scary, in a way :-)

This is what a lot of people don't understand with the very wealthy that keep working. They think it is because of greed for money without considering the other greater values they might hold.
Part of the fun of life, finding out how trapped we are ;)
Yeah, totally funny. I am kinda in the middle of processing the fact and finding how difficult it is to actually take the responsibility even when you want to I would say. Because really, environment is another limiting factor here, and personal fear of course.
