I'm on an important mission

I am going to start believing in fairy tales again because it has been a while.

What kind of world is it we live in where equality is non-existent? Or more importantly, what kind of world is it we live in where the people in charge are empty, selfish and manipulative?

Today at work I got "told off" by a manager merely because he didn't like me voicing my opinion or sticking up for myself or hey you aren't going to believe this, but he didn't like me disagreeing with him. He simply told me "if you can't do what you're supposed to do then we will put you somewhere else". How's that for nearly 6 years of loyal service to a company. I was shocked, I didn't know we lived in a world where a conversation is only single sided. I had no fucking idea that one person's opinion WAS THE ONE AND ONLY RIGHT AND VALID OPINION WORTH STATING. I myself have no first hand managerial experience however, I believe listening and understanding are two valid qualities that are mandatory to this position. I daily look around at the retail store I work in and see corruption and unjust behaviours, wish I could name names but no they'd gladly have me fired in half a heartbeat. Managers walk around draining out the negativity of ANY given scenario, the real and the ones they have created in their ever-so diligent minds of theirs, and they bring these negative situations to the surface. Not once has one of the group of managers I whole heartedly am referring to said "hey great job" or any positive phrase in all the time I have known them. All that comes out of their mouths is garbage and the staff below them act as trash cans.

I don't understand how these people get so high up, actually I do and that is what angers me because I've seen it with my own eyes. One minute they are rudely putting down a 16 year old and ordering them around and oh hey let's turn the corner and there we see the store manager. Wouldn't you love to see how quickly their attitudes change, how fast their façade is built. It's pathetic. Especially when you see it coming from a manager under the age of 25. How can someone be poisoned at such a young age. Every time I witness these change of events attitude wise, I start to think of the quote "A person who is nice to you but not nice to the waiter is not a nice person," or something rather. If you live your life by this quote it's amazing how different people will become in your eyes.

I just feel, how a person treats those below them technically speaking in a work hierarchy really reflects upon who they are as a person and their values. If they do not respect you or treat you as you deserve to be treated then they do not value your existence and that is not right and unjust. It makes me sick to know this goes on everyday, all over the world.
Fuck "authority" thinking they are so damn important ordering people around, belittling them in order to feel some false sense of superiority, I'm sure that they lack in their beds.

I honestly wish I had someone beside me to punch me in the face, or even just a direct slap would suffice, each time my mind drifted to the world of negativity and self pity. For now I think I'll resort to coffee because for whatever reason it seems to wake me up physically AND mentally.
